To be full…
To be full of things is to be empty of God. To be empty of things is to be full of God.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
If the only prayer…
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “Thank you,” that would suffice.
— Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
In the soil of contemplation…
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Be prepared for the Cross…
Be prepared for the cross, and have it ever before your eyes: strive to give no cause for complaint to others and bear patiently with their faults.
–Saint John of Avila (1500–1569)
Our souls dwell…
Let us fast from all consolation in any creature, so that, as our souls dwell in solitude, God may come and fill them, because they are empty of all else.
–Saint John of Avila (1500-1569)
The Holy Spirit…
The Holy Spirit takes away the hunger our heart feels when wandering amongst creatures, and fills it with the bread of fulness and satisfaction.
–Saint John of Avila (1500–1569)
