Luke 12:11-12When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say….

Can I bring the Lord back into my mind-flow every few seconds so that God shall always be in my mind?

I choose to make the rest of my life an experiment in answering this question.

Frank Laubach

I will devote myself exclusively to the duty of the present moment to love you, to fulfill my obligations and to let your will be done.

Jean-Pierre De Cassada

This simple practice requires only a gentle pressure of the will.... It grows easier as

the habit becomes fixed. Yet it transforms life into heaven. Everybody takes on a new richness, and all the world seems

tinted with glory... the joy which I have within cannot be described.
