How tenderly You dwell in my heart with love

St. John of the Cross
February 2006 (Vol. XIX, No. 2)

How gently and lovingly
You wake in my heart,
where in secret You dwell alone;
and in your sweet breathing,
filled with good and glory
how tenderly You dwell in my heart
with love.

~ THE LIVING FLAME OF LOVE by St. John of the Cross

Quote of the Day

If the world is a temple, then our enemies are sacred, too. The ability to respect the outsider is probably the litmus test of true seeing. It doesn't even stop with human beings and enemies of the least of the brothers and sisters. It moves to frogs and pansies and weeds. EVERYTHING becomes enchanting with true sight.

One God, one world, one truth, one suffering, and one love.All we can do is to participate.
