Love Is The Root Of All Joy

When I Experience Love I Must Go To God. When I Experience Non-attachment God Must Come To Me.

I Will Be Silent And Will Hear What God Will Say In Me...if God Wishes To Speak To Me, Let Him Enter. I Will Not Go Out.

If I Had A Friend And Loved Him Because Of The Benefits Which This Brought Me And Because Of Getting My Own Way, Then It Would Not Be My Friend That I Loved But Myself. I Should Love My Friend On Account Of His Own Goodness And Virtues And Account Of All That He Is In Himself. Only If I Love My Friend In This Way Do I Love Him Properly.

Saint Augustine Cries, Lord I Cannot Love You, But Come In And Love Yourself In Me. According To Saint Paul, We Must Put Off Our Own Natural Form And Put On The Form Of God, And Saint Augustine Tells Us To Discard Our Own Mode Of Nature; Then The Divine Nature Will Flow In And Be Revealed. Saint Augustine Says, Those Who Seek And Find, Find Not. He Who Seeks And Finds Not, He Alone Finds. Saint Paul Says, What I Was, Was Not I, It Was God In Me.

Do Not Think That Saintliness Comes From Occupation; It Depends Rather On What One Is. The Kind Of Work We Do Does Not Make Us Holy, But We May Make It Holy.
