\u201cTruth suffers, but never dies.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccustom yourself continually to make many acts of love<\/strong>
for they enkindle and melt the soul.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMay you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Teresa of Avila<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thy Kingdom Come<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Eternal Wisdom ! Between you and your Father this was quite sufficient. This is how you made your request of him in the garden of Gethsemane. You showed him what you wished for and what you feared, but left it all in his hands. But you know us, my Lord, and you know that we have not given ourselves up to the will of your Father as completely as you did. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the good Jesus bids us say these words, in which we pray that the Kingdom may come in us: Hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come. See how great our Master\u2019s wisdom is!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, then. The greatest joy in the kingdom of heaven (the greatest among many) seems to me to be that we will no longer be tied up with earthly concerns but will have rest and glory within us \u2013 rejoicing that gives joy to everyone, peace that lasts for ever \u2013 satisfaction in ourselves, a satisfaction that comes from seeing how everyone is praising the Lord and blessing and hallowing his name, while no-one offends him. Everyone loves him. Each soul has no wish other than to love him: it cannot stop loving him because it knows him truly. If only we knew him like that even here on earth, we would love him in the same way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
