Let us hold back nothing,
let us give God a full gift –
with both hands, with all our hearts,
feeling in our will and conscience that
we are giving all we have to give.

When God says one word it makes the impossible possible,
and the unlovely lovely, and the unmeaning become a revelation

The most blessed thing is to be an active element of joy.
Joy brings God himself near

We ourselves know the best and the
worst of ourselves, and others know
the middle… the part that shows.
It ought to increase our
reverence for each other very much
when we think that however much
good we see in others
the best is always hidden

To be a joy-bearer and a joy-giver
says everything:
it means that one is faithfully
living for God and that
nothing else counts
