Not one of this world’s blessings belongs to its owner securely enough to prevent time destroying it, or envy transferring it elsewhere…Let us profit by them in the only good way we can, that is, let us gain possession of our souls by giving alms, and share our earthly goods with the poor so as to enrich ourselves with the wealth of heaven.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
If only we could be what we hope to be, by the great kindness of our generous God! He asks so little and gives so much, in this life and in the next, to those who love him sincerely. In a spirit of hope and out of love for him, let us then bear and endure all things and give thanks for everything that befalls us.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
God is at home, it’s we who have gone out for a walk.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Only the hand that erases can write the true thing.
— Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
People who dwell in God dwell in the eternal now.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
