“It is a great truth, wonderful as it is undeniable, that all our happiness - temporal, spiritual, and eternal - consists in one thing; namely, in resigning ourselves to God, and in leaving ourselves with Him, to do with us and in us just as He pleases.” HappinessSpiritualWonderfulOne ThingPleaseEternalLeavingResigning Author:Jeanne Marie Bouvier de la Motte Guyon
“There are three kinds of nature in man, as Nicetas Stethatos further explains: the carnal man, who wants to live for his own pleasure, even if it harms others; the natural man, who wants to please both himself and others; and the spiritual man, who wants to please only God, even if it harms himself. The first is lower than human nature, the second is normal, the third is above nature; it is life in Christ.” IfsMenWantFirstsHumansKindSpiritualThreeChristNaturalPleasureHuman NaturePleaseNormalThirdsHarmAsceticism Author:Tito Colliander
