Miguel de Molinos Quotes

Thou art never at any time nearer to God than when under tribulation; which He permits for the purification and beautifying of thy soul.

Be not afraid of those trials which God may see fit to send upon thee. It is with the wind and the storm of tribulation that God, in the garner of the soul, separates the true wheat from the chaff. Always remember, therefore, that God comes to thee in thy sorrows as really as in thy joys. He lays low and He builds up. Thou wilt find thyself far from perfection if thou dost not find God in everything.

It is a maxim that will endure: To truly know the living God, this begets humility.

With the wind of tribulation God separates in the floor of the soul, the chaff from the corn.
