Flowers of Carmel

“We should first of all see God as the deepest ground of our being, hidden in the innermost part of our soul… It is in doing so that we shall always remain in contemplation before him… This indwelling of God and his action in us should not merely be objects of intuition, but should also be made manifest in our lives, our words and our deeds; they should be reflected in our conduct and in our whole being.

Our actions should be consciously derived from the divine indwelling in us, as things commanded or counselled by God Himself in the depths of our soul. Thus they will not only become forceful and convincing in their outward effect, but also filled with inward power as the manisfestation of a nobler and more beautiful form of life.”

Bl. Titus Brandsma
