IN AN ENDLESS TRADITION OF GOD'S WORD AND THE MIRACULOUS!!!

"I will hearken what the Lord God will speak in me."
Blessed is the soul which heareth the Lord speaking within her,
and receiveth from His moth the word of consolation.
Blessed are the ears that gladly receive the pulses of the Divine whisper,
and give no heed to the many whisperings of the world.
Blessed indeed are those ears which listen not after the voices which is sounding without, but for the Truth, teaching inwardly.
Blessed are the eyes which are shut to outward things, but intent on things eternal.
Blessed are they that enter far into inward things, and endeavour to prepare themselves more and more, by daily exercises, for the receiving of Heavenly secrets.
Blessed are they who are glad to have time to spare for God, and shake off all worldly impediments.
Consider these things, O my soul, and shut up the door of the sensual desires, that thou mayest hear what the Lord thy God shall speak in thee.

THE IMITATION OF CHRIST-Thomas Kempis
