If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "Thank You," that would suffice. - Meister Eckhart

A man may go into the field and say his prayer and be aware of God, or, he may be in Church and be aware of God; but, if he is more aware of Him because he is in a quiet place, that is his own deficiency and not due to God, Who is alike present in all things and places, and is willing to give Himself everywhere so far as lies in Him. He knows God rightly who knows Him everywhere.

Grace is from God, and works in the depth of the soul whose powers it employs. It is a light which issues forth to do service under the guidance of the Spirit. The Divine Light permeates the soul, and lifts it above the turmoil of temporal things to rest in God. The soul cannot progress except with the light which God has given it as a nuptial gift; love works the likeness of God into the soul. The peace, freedom and blessedness of all souls consist in their abiding in God's will. Towards this union with God for which it is created the soul strives perpetually.

Que proveito tenho eu se o nascimento eterno do filho divino ocorre sem cessar, mas não ocorre dentro de mim? Que proveito obtenho eu do fato de Deus dar à luz o seu filho, se eu não o trago à luz em minha época, e em minha cultura?
