“It is most impossible that we should beseech mercy and grace, and not have it.”

He that is highest and worthiest was most fully made-nought and most utterly despised.

This is our Lord’s will… that our prayer and our trust be, alike, large.

Our Lord is the ground from whom our prayer grows and in his love and grace he himself gives us our prayers.

For our soul is so preciously loved of him that is highest, that it over-passeth the knowing of all creatures.

He that made all things for love, by the same love keepeth them, and shall keep them without end.

All that is contrary to love and peace is of the Fiend and of his part.

It needeth us to have knowing of the littleness of creatures and to hold as nought all-thing that is made, for to love and have God that is unmade.

A great thing shall I make hereof in Heaven of endless worship and everlasting joys.

Anything less then God, ever me wanteth.

We need to fall, and we need to be aware of it; for if we did not fall, we should not know how weak and wretched we are of ourselves, nor should we know our Maker’s marvellous love so fully.

Charity keepeth us in Faith and Hope, and Hope leadeth us in Charity. And in the end all shall be Charity.

Wherefore me behoveth needs to grant that all-thing that is done, it is well-done: for our Lord God doeth all.

Prayer is the deliberate and persevering action of the soul. It is true and enduring, and full of grace. Prayer fastens the soul to God and makes it one with God’s will.

Our Savior is our true Mother in whom we are endlessly born and out of whom we shall never come.

Where do we begin? Begin with the heart.

For in every soul that shall be saved is a Godly Will that never assented to sin, nor ever shall.

The amazing thing about love and attention and encouragement and grace and success and joy is that these things are infinite. We get a new supply every single morning, and so we can give it away all day. We never, ever have to monitor the supply of others or grab or hoard.

Art is the contemplation of the world in a state of grace.

One must not try to trick misfortune, but resign oneself to it with good grace.

But who is innocent? By grace divine, Not otherwise,O Nature! we are thine.

Teach you children poetry; it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom and makes the heroic virtues hereditary.

To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility – these are marks of maturity and graciousness.

Forgiveness from others is charity; from God, grace; from oneself, wisdom.

By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.
