When I am With Him

'It seems that a tranquil soul and a quiet spirit come to me even while I sleep.... 

I don't know what God has in store for me, but I feel so serene that it doesn't matter.  

What do I have to be afraid of when I am with Him?'

Brother Lawrence

A Serenity of Temper

Spiritual joy

 is a serenity of temper in the changes of life,

 such as a mountain has when a storm breaks over it.

To a man who has never rooted

 the soul in the Divine,

 every trouble exaggerates itself.

                                                                                           - Archbishop Fulton Sheen
