Our Lord is the ground from whom our prayer grows and in his love and grace he himself gives us our prayers.
Prayer is a new, gracious, lasting will of the soul united and fast-bound to the will of God by the precious and mysterious working of the Holy Ghost.
Our Lord God shewed that a deed shall be done, and Himself shall do it, and I shall do nothing but sin, and my sin shall not hinder His Goodness working.
The age of every man shall be acknowledged before him in Heaven, and every man shall be rewarded for his willing service and for his time.
The Enemy is overcome by the blessed Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The love that made Him to suffer passeth as far all His pains as Heaven is above Earth.
When I was thirty years old and a half, God sent me a bodily sickness, in which I lay three days and three nights; and on the fourth night I took all my rites of Holy Church, and weened not to have lived till day.
Wherefore me behoveth needs to grant that all-thing that is done, it is well-done: for our Lord God doeth all.
It is easy to understand that the best deed is well done: and so well as the best deed is done – the highest – so well is the least deed done; and all thing in its property and in the order that our Lord hath ordained it to from without beginning. For there is no doer but He.
Here saw I a great oneing betwixt Christ and us, to mine understanding: for when He was in pain, we were in pain.
He willeth to be perceived; and His appearing shall be swiftly sudden; and He willeth to be trusted. For He is full gracious and homely: Blessed may He be!
For in the Third Showing when I saw that God does all that is done, I saw no sin: and then I saw that all is well. But when God showed me for sin, then said He: All SHALL be well.
We give our intent to love and meekness, by the working of mercy and grace we are made all fair and clean.
A great thing shall I make hereof in Heaven of endless worship and everlasting joys.
Anything less then God, ever me wanteth.
Because of the Shewing I am not good but if I love God the better: and in as much as ye love God the better, it is more to you than to me.
God is all that is good, as to my sight, and the goodness that each thing hath, it is He.
God willeth to be seen and to be sought: to be abided and to be trusted.
He shall appear suddenly and blissfully to all that love Him.
He that is highest and worthiest was most fully made-nought and most utterly despised.
For our soul is so preciously loved of him that is highest, that it over-passeth the knowing of all creatures.
