Just for Today, August 6

That good and delightful affection which thou some­times perceivest, is the effect of present grace, and a certain foretaste of thy heavenly country. But thou must not rely too much upon it, because it goes and comes.
-Bk. III, ch. vi.

The divine Shepherd of our souls deprives us of the sense of His presence, that He may bestow consolations on sinners. If He takes us to Thabor, it is only for a few moments, for pastures are usually found in the valley, and it is there that He rests at midday (Cant. i, 6).
-Letters.
