WHAT LOVE!

A deep peace floods the soul, transitory things are nothing. We are walking towards God, contemplating His immense happiness and rejoicing forever in the thought of the infinite, perfect, unchangeable happiness of this God we love; we are happy with the happiness of the Beloved, and the thought of His unchangeable peace calms the soul...The sight of my own nothingness does not weigh me down; it helps me forget myself and think only of Him who is all in all.

- Blessed Charles de Foucauld
 
this quote fills the heart with a lightness
a sweet detachment
a sense of joy floods the mind
our Beloved is everything to us
He is our breath, our sustenance, our very existence is because of love
how incredible is the love of our Father in Heaven!
how mysterious the lengths He goes to show us...
