Body as the foundation…
As a good wine must be kept in a good cask, so a wholesome body is the proper foundation for a well-appointed inner ground.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
When we clearly see our Self…
The passing life of the senses doesn’t lead to knowledge of what our Self is. When we clearly see what our Self is, then we shall truly know our Lord God in great joy.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Communion is for…
Communion is not primarily for saints, but for those who want to become saints. It’s the sick and the weak who need medicine and food.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Abide and walk in God…
All grief except grief for sin comes from love of the world. In God is neither sorrow, nor grief, nor trouble. Wouldst thou be free from all grief and trouble, abide and walk in God, and to God alone. As long as love of the creature is in us, pain cannot cease.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Losing God through rituals…
To seek God by rituals is to get the ritual and lose God in the process.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Long-faced saints…
I want no long-faced saints.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
