“Pain and suffering are a kind of currency passed from hand to hand until they reach someone who receives them but does not pass them on.”
― Simone Weil

“be right with God is to be right with the universe; one with the power, the love, the will of the mighty Father, the cherisher of joy, the lord of laughter, whose are all glories, all hopes, who loves everything, and hates nothing but selfishness, which he will not have in his kingdom. Christ then is the Lord of life; his life is the light of men; the light mirrored in them changes them into the image of him, the Truth; and thus the truth, who is the Son, makes them free.”
― George MacDonald, Unspoken Sermons Series I, II, and III

“I also am other than what I imagine myself to be. To know this is forgiveness.”
― Simone Weil, Simone Weil: An Anthology

“O Lord, send down Your grace to help me, that I may glorify Your name. Grant me humility, love, and obedience. Implant in me the root of all blessings: the reverence of You in my heart.”
― St. John Chrysostom
