Our soul must be still…
If God is to speak His word to the soul, it must be still and at peace. And then He will speak His word and give Himself to the soul, and not as a mere idea, apart from Himself.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328
One with God…
Not one is so unprepared, unlearned, or uncouth that he could not become one with God. If he is ready to unite his will purely and unreservedly with the will of God, all he has to do is say, ‘Lord, show me Thy will and grant me the strength to fulfill it.’ and God does so with abundance.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
What keeps us alive is…
What keeps us alive, what allows us to endure? I think it is the hope of loving, or being loved. I heard a fable once about the sun going on a journey; to find its source, and how the moon wept without her lover’s warm gaze. We weep when light does not reach our hearts. We wither like fields if someone close does not rain their kindness upon us.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Joy is evidence…
Joy is the unmistakable evidence of the presence of God.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
To be full…
To be full of things is to be empty of God. To be empty of things is to be full of God.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
If the only prayer…
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “Thank you,” that would suffice.
— Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
