Saint Augustine cries, Lord I cannot love you, but come in and love yourself in me. According to Saint Paul, we must put off our own natural form and put on the form of God, and Saint Augustine tells us to discard our own mode of nature; then the divine nature will flow in and be revealed. Saint Augustine says, Those who seek and find, find not. He who seeks and finds not, he alone finds. Saint Paul says, What I was, was not I, it was God in me.

The shell must be cracked apart if what is in it is to come out, for if you want the kernel you must break the shell.

What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.

No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion

Above all else, know this: Be prepared at all times for the gifts of God and be ready always for new ones. For God is a thousand times more ready to give than we are to receive

God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk.
