From the Foundations

"Prayer...is the place where the Lord gives the light to understand truths."

From A Woman Wrapped In Silence by John W. Lynch

"O, be it done to me.  He was her last
Of answers, After Him no more was left,
And She'd be emptied, and the soul could seek
No further full annihilate to add
For more surrendering of more.  He was
Her end of Giving, and the grant that God
Would have of Him, signed in the opened Side,
Would reach to her, to take as utterly!
And there'd be nothing then, and in her heart,
No more to give for more."


- John W Lynch

The Path to True Humility

"Never take others for your example in the tasks you have to perform, however holy they may be, for the devil will set their imperfections before you. But imitate Christ, who is supremely perfect and supremely holy, and you will never err."

- St. John of the Cross



How can we help but find true humility if we but gaze on the Lord.  For it is not what we do or how we imitate the good souls on this earth but how we keep our eyes fixed on God and wish to do His will that brings us closer to Him.
