Quote:"Who can search out the depth of Your secrets Lord! The wonderful ways and hidden paths to which you guide our soul, that it might be purged, transformed and changed into Your nature and content." Michael MolinosQuote:"When a man's larder (food) is empty and he is starving, his eyes are not occupied with looking at he the emptiness of his larder, but are turned toward the source from which he hopes or expects to get a supply of food!""The man who wavers in his faith is upset by the smallest trifles. The man who is steadfast in his faith can look calmly at the ruin of all his universe." Hannah Whitall Smith

Quote:" If I want only pure water, what does it matter to me whether it be brought in a vase of gold or of glass? What is it to me whether the will of God be presented to me in tribulation or consolation, since I desire and seek only the Divine will? ... Francois de Sales (1567-1622)"
