Quotes about Goodness

so our customary practice of prayer was brought to mind: how through our ignorance and inexperience in the ways of love we spend so much time on petition.

But for I am a woman should I therefore live that I should not tell you the goodness of God?

God's goodness transcends all thought, all comprehension

For the Goodness of God is the highest prayer, and it cometh down to the lowest part of our need. It quickeneth our soul and bringeth it on life, and maketh it for to waxen in grace and virtue. It is nearest in nature; and readiest in grace: for it is the same grace that the soul seeketh, and ever shall seek till we know verily that He hath us all in Himself enclosed.

everything that is good is God; whatever goodness we experience in this life is truly a taste of God, for it is God.

the goodness that each thing hath, it is He.
