Delight in God…
Truth sees God, and wisdom contemplates God, and from these two comes a third, a holy and wonderful delight in God, who is love.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)

— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
In prayer, you must be as a vessel open and exposed before God that he may distill into it his grace, drop by drop, as he wills. God will fill your soul with this divine water if you come before him often with lively faith.
–Saint Jane Frances de Chantal (1572-1641)
Though we had nothing else to say to God than to tell him that we love him and that he is worthy of that love, that is enough. The angels in heaven utter but one word: Sanctus. In the abode of bliss that is their whole, their solitary prayer.
–Saint Jane Frances de Chantal (1572-1641)
The love that God most high has for our soul is so great that it surpasses understanding. No created being can comprehend how much, how sweetly, and how tenderly our maker loves us.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
And so I saw full surely that before ever God made us, he loved us. And this love was never quenched nor ever shall be. And in this love he is done all his works, and in this love he made all things profitable to us, and in this love our life is everlasting. In our making we had beginning, but the love in which he made us was in him from without beginning.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
