The Interior Life

The interior life is one of silence

Striving only for divine union with God’s love

It is not one that strives for earthly riches

The false beacon of wealth, status, or fame will all fade away and lead us to great suffering

Look only within your own heart and seek the inner riches of being one with Christ in perfect love

When you are one with Christ, true joy and peace will rush within your heart

Do not be bothered by the impurities in your brothers and sisters

Focus on your own journey to Christ and God’s light will cast into the darkness of the world

Do not gossip about God and only speak humbly

Learn to he silent and listen to God’s voice within you

Be still and seek the Kingdom of God within your own heart and soul

Cloud of Unknowing

“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.
