Do not cling to this world
All worldly riches, fame, and possessions will fade away in the end
But God’s love is infinite and everlasting
Christ firmly stands within us till the end
The inner riches of being with God are what satisfy our soul
The outer riches only give us temporary pleasure but leave us hollow
Only his love can give our soul true peace and joy
“With an empty mind and open heart, let yourself be naked before grace.
Let your mind rest in this dark awareness of God in all of this naked existence.
It is not who you are or what you’ve been that God sees with merciful eyes, but what you want to be.
Contemplative prayer, when done right, is the respectful love and ripe fruit.
It’s the cloud of unknowing, the hidden love-longing offered by a pure spirit.
It takes you into silence, far from thoughts and words.”
These quotes are from “The Cloud of Unknowing” which is a book of anonymous European monks from the medieval times. Full video on YouTube.
Enjoy 🙏🏻
Narrow is this path my lord
Stay near me as I walk into the darkness of this world
For you are the light of the world
May I drink with you at your well
The everlasting source of love within my own heart
May I eat with you
For you are the bread of life
O’ Christ
My soul only strives to be with you
And rest within your love
Softness will always prevail over harshness
Love will always prevail over fear
Peace over war
Like water washing over jagged rock
Unconditional love has the power to shape us with patience, humility and grace
May I empty myself to you God
So you can fill me with your divine love
May I empty myself of all self centered ideas
So you can fill me with your divine grace and humility
May I empty myself of all hatred, fear and greed
So you fill me with your infinite compassion
I empty myself to you God
I surrender to your unconditional love
The Narrow Path
