When did we start believing God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things?

He will put you in situations where you absolutely must have a miracle. The reason He does that is because He wants you to know with all certainty that it is Him working in your life. So don't be alarmed if the Spirit leads you into situations that are impossible without a miracle from God.

always keep in mind that an article of faith is not something that the faithful assume. Faith, for those who have it, is the most certain form of knowledge, not a tentative opinion.

God's will and desire—His pleasure—is that we love Him. We cannot please God unless we love Him. We cannot love Him unless we know Him, and we cannot know Him unless we have faith in Him.

What we believe about God is crucial because it affects what we believe about everything else.

I may grow rich by an art I am compelled to follow; I may recover health by medicines I am compelled to take against my own judgment; but I cannot be saved by a worship I disbelieve and abhor.

The only thing to seek in contemplative prayer is God; and we seek Him successfully when we realize that we cannot find Him unless He shows Himself to us, and yet at the same time that He would not have inspired us to seek Him unless we had already found Him.

If you find God with great ease, perhaps it is not God you have found.

But I believe that the desire to please You does in fact pleases You.

I don't even need to know precisely what I am doing, except that I am acting for the love of God.

No one can find God without having first been found by Him. A monk is a man who seeks God because he has been found by God.

The only One Who can teach me to find God is God, Himself, Alone.
