In darkness one finds light…
Truly, it is in the darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
The quieter the mind…
The quieter the mind, the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Truth is like…
If the truth is unpalatable for people, it is not truth’s fault. It is theirs. Truth is like a glaring light to eyes that of grown weak. Be careful not to make truth even more painful and disagreeable by neglecting to speak it lovingly.
–Guigo I (c. 1083-1136)
Without the music…
When the words come, they are merely empty shells without the music. They live as they are sung, for the words are the body and the music the spirit.
–Saint Hildegarde of Bingen (1098-1179)
Where there is…
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
A moment of time…
We live inside a tiny moment of time. All of our time, compared with eternity, is nothing. It is a serious waste to let a day go by without allowing God to change us.
–Richard Rolle (c. 1300-1349)
