“Our Lord is a foot washer, not a controller.”

“Let him love to find You while not finding it out, rather than, while finding it out, not to find You.”
― St. Augustine of Hippo

“Word of Life, I love the everydayness of this gospel life, that honest speech is including in holy living. How necessary it is in this age of spin and hype, where falsehood spreads with viral intensity. Teach me to speak as Jesus lives, full of grace and truth. Guide all my words - spoke or written - by your love and the needs of others. In Christ's name, amen.”
― Philip F. Reinders

“I regard myself as the most wretched of all men, stinking and covered with sores, and as one who has committed all sorts of crimes against his King. Overcome by remorse, I confess all my wickedness to Him, ask His pardon and abandon myself entirely to Him to do with as He will. But this King, filled with goodness and mercy, far from chastising me, lovingly embraces me, makes me eat at His table, serves me with His own hands, gives me the keys of His treasures and treats me as His favorite. He talks with me and is delighted with me in a thousand and one ways; He forgives me and relieves me of my principle bad habits without talking about them; I beg Him to make me according to His heart and always the more weak and despicable I see myself to be, the more beloved I am of God.”
― Brother Lawrence, The Practice of the Presence of God
