PURITY
To the pure heart, Truth speaks.
- Robert Penn Warren, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce
Holy Purity is granted by God when it is asked for with humility.
- St. Josemaria Escriva
For a stalk to grow or a flower to open there must be time that cannot be forced; nine months must go by for the birth of a human child; to write a book or compose music often years must be dedicated to patient research. To find the mystery there must be patience, interior purification, silence, waiting....
- Pope John Paul II
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?
- 1 Corinthians 3:16
Whatever you have in your mind - forget it; whatever you have in your hand - give it; whatever is to be your fate - face it!
- Abu Sa'id Ibn Abi-L-Khayr, quoted in Travelling the Path of Love: Sayings of Sufi Masters
