mentioned in this blogs

I pray that you will enjoy it

interspersed periodically.
| “It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.” | |
|

| “(said of God):If this is the way you treat your friends, it's no wonder you have so few!” | |
 |
I do not fear Satan half so much as I fear those who fear him.”
St. Teresa of Avila
How is it, Lord, that we are cowards in everything save in opposing Thee?”
St. Teresa of Avila
| “Pain is never permanent” | |
| “Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All thing pass; God never changes. Patience attains All that it strives for. He who has God Finds he lacks nothing:God alone suffices.” | |
| “Take God for your spouse and friend and walk with Him continually, and you will not sin, will learn to love, and the things you must do will work out prosperously for you.” | |
“Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All thing pass; God never changes. Patience attains All that it strives for. He who has God Finds he lacks nothing:God alone suffices.”
“Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.”
| “God is at home; it is we who have gone for a walk.” | |
| “There exists only the present instant... a Now which always and without end is itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence.” | |
| “He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.” | |

All is Transparent and Harmonious to His Eye!
(From Octavius Winslow's, "My Times in God's Hand")
We live in a world of mysteries.

We live in a world of mysteries.
They meet our eye, awaken our inquiry,
and baffle our investigation at every step.

Nature is a vast arcade of mysteries.
Science is a mystery.
Truth is a mystery.
Religion is a mystery.
Our existence is a mystery.
The future of our being is a mystery.

And God, who alone can explain all mysteries,
is the greatest mystery of all. How little do

But to God nothing is mysterious.
In His purpose, nothing is unfixed.
In His forethought, nothing is unknown.
In His providence, nothing is contingent.

His glance pierces the future as vividly
as it beholds the past. "He knows the

All His doings are parts of a divine,
eternal, and harmonious plan.

He may make ''darkness his secret place; His
pavilion round about him dark waters, and
thick clouds of the skies," and to human vision
His dispensations may appear gloomy, discrepant,
and confused. Yet He is "working all things
after the counsel of His own will," and all is
transparent and harmonious to His eye!

This is your bro Peter wishing you a good weekend and that the love which surpasses our understanding, will be with us and flow through us, now and always.
