“Death is the gate of life. Ingratitude is the soul's enemy... Ingratitude is a burning wind that dries up the source of love, the dew of mercy, the streams of grace. You will find something far greater in the woods than you will find in books. Stones and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.” BookSoulEnemyTeachGreaterGraceTreeWindMastersSourceStonesMercyWoodsBurningStreamsGatesDewIngratitude Author:Bernard of Clairvaux

“[Grace] is given not to make us something other than ourselves but to make us radically ourselves. Grace is given not to implant in us a foreign wisdom but to make us alive to the wisdom that was born with us in our mothers womb. Grace is given not to lead us into another identity but to reconnect us to the beauty of our deepest identity. And grace is given not that we might find some exterior source of strength but that we might be established again in the deep inner security of our being and in learning to lose ourselves in love for one another to truly find ourselves.” MightMotherGivenBornLosesGraceAliveSecurityIdentitySourceMercyWombExteriorImplantsSource Of Strength Author:John Philip Newell
