Quote

It is no little wisdom for you to keep yourself in silence and in good peace when evil words are spoken to you, and to turn your heart to God and not to be troubled with the judgment of others

And help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray

God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.

The self-assured believer is a greater sinner in the eyes of God than the troubled disbeliever

The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays

And if tonight my soul may find her peace in sleep, and sink in good oblivion, and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.
