Doing the will…
Man’s salvation and perfection consists of doing the will of God which he must have in view in all things, and at every moment of his life.
–Saint Peter Claver (1581-1654)

God wants us to know that he keeps us safe through good and ill… We shall see God face to face, simply and holding.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
And so our good Lord answered to all the questions and doubts which I could raise, saying most comfortingly: “I may make all things well, and I shall make all things well, and I will make all things well; and you will see yourself that every kind of thing will be well.”
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
And I saw that truly nothing happens by accident or luck, but everything by God’s wise providence. If it seems to be accident or luck from our point of view, our blindness and lack of foreknowledge is the cause; for matters that have been in God’s foreseeing wisdom since before time began befall us suddenly, all unawares; and so in our blindness and ignorance we say that this is accident or luck, but to our Lord God it is not so.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Of communion with humans, God can never have enough.
–Mechthild of Magdeburg (Thirteenth Century)
