God help us to prepare…
May God help us to prepare a dwelling place for this noble birth, so that we may all attain spiritual motherhood.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
Dignity of the soul…
It is impossible for us in words to describe the ineffable dignity of the soul and we cannot in any way comprehend it.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
Body as the foundation…
As a good wine must be kept in a good cask, so a wholesome body is the proper foundation for a well-appointed inner ground.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
A wholesome body…
As a good wine must be kept in a good cask, so a wholesome body is the proper foundation for a well-appointed inner ground.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
Mercy is born…
Mercy is born of that love which we ought to exercise towards each other. If we do not, God will require it of us at the Judgement Day; and, where He findeth not the requisite mercy, He will refuse mercy, as He Himself has said.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
Find suitable time…
Every one should find some suitable time, day or night, to sink into his depths, each according to his own fashion. Not every one is able to engage in contemplative prayer.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
