If Thou Art Willing To Suffer No

Thy Peace Shall Be In Much Patience.

Leave Off That Excessive Desire Of Knowing; Therein Is Found Much Distraction. There Are Many Things The Knowledge Of Which Is Of Little Or No Profit To The Soul.

Love Longs To Be Free, A Stranger To Every Worldly Desire, Lest Its Inner Vision Become Dimmed, And Lest Worldly Self-interest Hinder It Or Ill-fortune Cast It Down.

God Evaluates By This Criterion: How Much Love You Invest In What You Do Is More Important Than How You Do. The One Who Loves Much Is Actually The One Who Does Much.

Blessed Is The Pilgrim, Who In Every Place, And At All Times Of This His Banishment In The Body, Calling Upon The Holy Name Of Jesus, Calleth To Mind His Native Heavenly Land, Where His Blessed Master, The King Of Saints And Angels, Waiteth To Receive Him. Blessed Is The Pilgrim Who Seeketh Not An Abiding Place Unto Himself In This World; But Longeth To Be Dissolved, And Be With Christ In Heaven.
