Your meditations may be as profound, as exalted, as devout as you like; you may practice every pious exercise you can manage, but all this is as nothing in comparison with the Blessed Sacrament. What we do may be godly, but this sacrament is God Himself!
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
God cares not for your works, when He is deprived of your heart and love.
–Johannes Tauler OP (1300–1361)
A pure mind is to be gained by exercise in the Holy Scriptures.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
What matters most is a good and ready will to obey God.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
Rid yourself of anything that is not directed toward God.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
The Lord leads a person out of himself into himself.
— Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
