“ Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul. ”
Prayer is an act of love; words are not needed. Even if sickness distracts from thoughts, all that is needed is the will to love.
~ Saint Teresa Of Avila
The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.
It is no small misfortune and disgrace that, through our own fault, we neither understand our nature nor our origin.
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
