you now effortlessly lean toward perdition.' -- St. Norbert, to the people of
Antwerp
Humility is nothing

loves truth continually and has not lent his mouth as an instrument of impiety
by lying, for he fears the commandment about idle speech. - St. Ephrem of Syria
O unfathomable depth! O Deity eternal! O deep ocean! What more could You give me than to give me Yourself? You are an ever-burning Fire; You consume and are not consumed. By Your fire, You consume every trace of self-love in the soul. You are a Fire which drives away all coldness and illumines minds with its light, and with this light You have made known Your truth. Truly this light is a sea which feeds the soul until it is all immersed in You, O peaceful Sea, eternal Trinity! The water of this sea is never turbid; it never causes fear, but gives knowledge of the truth. This water is transparent and discloses hidden things; and a living faith gives such abundance of light that the soul almost attains to certitude in what it believes. - St. Catherine of Siena
