God does not reserve such a lofty vocation, as that of contemplation, to certain souls only; on the contrary, He is willing that all should embrace it. But He finds few who permit such divine things in them. Most shrink from the labor instead of submitting, as they must, with endless patience.

John of the Cross

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.”

Luke 17:5-6
The New International Version

A man’s most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions.

Thomas Brooks
