Just for Today, March 9

Seek true peace, not upon earth, but in heaven; not in men, nor in other things created, but in God alone.
-Bk. III. ch. xxxv.

This is the principal comfort of a faithful soul, so long as she sojourns afar from Thee in this mortal body, being mindful often of her God, to receive her Beloved with a devout mind.
-Bk. IV, ch. iii.

Above the curtain of the clouds
Are skies serenely blue,
And thither, like the lark, I rise
Where no care can pursue,
So near, so near to Heaven's gate!
Then to the earth return,
Where to the hidden Fruit of Love
With longing eyes I turn.
-Poems
