Remember this: all suffering comes to an end. And whatever you suffer authentically, God has suffered from it first.
Meister EckhartThe second means of attraction which He used is Emptiness, as we see when we place one end of a hollow pipe in water, and draw up it by suction; the water runs up the stem to the mouth, because the emptiness of the pipe, from which the air has been drawn, draws the water to itself.
