What I believe is so magnificent, so glorious, that it is beyond finite comprehension. To believe that the universe was created by a purposeful, benign Creator is one thing. To believe that this Creator took on human vesture, accepted death and mortality, was tempted, betrayed, broken, and all for love of us, defies reason. It is so wild that it terrifies some Christians who try to dogmatize their fear by lashing out at other Christians, because tidy Christianity with all answers given is easier than one which reaches out to the wild wonder of God’s love, a love we don’t even have to earn.

True hope seeks the Kingdom of God alone and is convinced that everything earthly that is necessary for this transitory life will unfailingly be given. The heart cannot have peace until it acquires this hope. It gives peace to the heart and brings joy to it.
–Saint Seraphim of Sarov (1754-1833)
Adversity, Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361), Page: Quotes, Quote Author
Richard of Saint Victor says: “I receive Christ not alone on the Cross, but also in His Transfiguration on Mount Tabor.” That is to say, in all our distresses, in all our painful inward destitution, we may boldly believe that Christ is present with us.

Take time, slow down, be still, be awake to the Divine Mystery that looks so common and so ordinary yet is wondrously present.

We need to find some time each day to sit quietly in peace, in stillness, savoring the mystery of God within us. Such silent sitting will not only prepare us to find “eternal rest” at the time of our death; it will help us find infinite peace in the midst of the problems of life.
–Edward Hays (1931-2016)
