| Christian Mysticism Quotes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The kingdom of God is within you. - Jesus (Luke 17:21) Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? - 1 Corinthians 3:16 For what is Mysticism? Is it not the attempt to draw near to God, not by rites or ceremonies, but by inward disposition? Is it not merely a hard word for 'The Kingdom of Heaven is within'? Heaven is neither a place nor a time. - Florence Nightingale In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone. - St. John of the Cross Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength. - St. Francis de Sales For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone sees the invisible. - Richard of Saint-Victor The soul is made of love and must ever strive to return to love. Therefore, it can never find rest nor happiness in other things. By its very nature it must seek God, who is love. - Mechthild of Magdeburg And God said to the soul: I desired you before the world began. I desire you now as you desire me. And where the desires of two come together there love is perfected. - Mechthild of Magdeburg I give praise to your holy Nature, Lord, for you have made my nature a sanctuary for your hiddenness and a tabernacle for your mysteries, a place where you can dwell, and a holy temple for your Divinity. - St. Isaac of Syria This shall be a sign for you, a luminous sign of the serenity of your soul: on examining yourself, you will find yourself full of compassion for all humanity, and your heart is afflicted with pity for them, burning as though with fire, without making distinction between one person and another. - St. Isaac of Syria Quotes continue below... |

The Sermon on the Mount - Emmet Fox
According to Emmet Fox, the Bible is a "textbook of metaphysics" and the teachings of Jesus express - without dogma - a practical approach for the development of the soul and for the shaping of our lives into what we really wish them to be.
