This is one of my favorite places in one of the most influential of books for me.
A beautiful quote that I want to keep in my notes: “intentions, thoughts, desires, affections, and my whole interior, come let us ascend the mountain, let us go to the place where the Lord sees or is seen. Cares, solicitudes, anxieties, labours, pains, and external duties wait here for my return.” Attributed to St. Bernard

I think that I might be reading a page or two of Lehodey’s work off and on for the rest of my life.

I’ve already read this, but it was a very good decision to revisit it. I read about two pages before bedtime, and then meditate on it as I drift to sleep. Such a powerful work.
