Principles and Practices - January 2

God Is Everything

Do you see, my children, except God, nothing is solid - nothing, nothing! If it is life, it passes away; if it is wealth, it crumbles away; if it is health, it is destroyed; if it is reputation, it is attacked. We are scattered like the wind....Everything is passing away at full speed, every­thing is going to ruin. O God! O God! How much those are to be pitied, then, who set their heart on all these things.

-Spirit or the Cure of Ars.
