The will of God…
The will of God presents itself at each moment like an immense ocean that the desire of your heart cannot empty; yet you will drink from that ocean according to your faith and love.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)

–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)

No state of life can, assuredly, be sanctified in a more exalted manner, nor in a more wonderful and easy way than by the simple use of the means that God, the sovereign director of souls, gives them to do or to suffer at each moment.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)

Reconciliation always brings a springtime to the soul.

Welcoming the comfort that the Holy Spirit gives means seeking, in silence and peace, to surrender ourselves to him.
–Brother Roger of Taize (1915-2005)
The Church can radiate…
Never distant, never on the defensive, freed of all harshness, the Church can radiate the humble trusting of faith into our human hearts.
–Brother Roger of Taize (1915-2005)
