The Gift of Being Good

He who has given us the gift of being gives us also the gift of being good. He gives to those who have turned back to him. He even sought them out before they were converted and when they were far from his ways!

-- Commentary on Psalm 103 (4), 2

Prayer. Lord, command and requisition whatever you wish. But heal and open my ears so that I may hear your voice. Heal and open my eyes so that I may see you commanding. Drive the madness out of me so that I may recognize you.

-- Soliloquies 1, 5
