Go in search…
We need no wings to go in search for Him, but only to look upon Him present within us.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Like an embrace…
In the night of humility into which God asks us to enter, we can encounter the burning power of his Love. And how much more profoundly is his tenderness that pushes himself to give himself to us in the Eucharist. Each time it is like an embrace that pulls us to his heart, at one at the the same time crucified and glorified.
–Charles Journet (1891–1975)
My nothingness…
God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the center of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.
–Bede Griffiths (1906-1993)
Grow quiet…
We must grow quiet enough to realize God’s omnipresence, to feel his comforting hand and open our hearts within, silently, letting his healing have its way. Then the waters will flow over the arid soil and things will start to grow again. If only we keep still. God permits many wounds– but there are also miracles.
–Alfred Delp (1907-1945)
No one should…
No one should think or say anything of another which he would not wish thought or said of himself.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
To drink of this spring…
Do not be afraid that the Lord Who has called us to drink of this spring will allow you to die of thirst.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
