Rest in God, dear soul, for that is everything. Fear not the lonely place, for it may become a land of untold delights, where solitude brings consolation, and aloneness unfolds not into loneliness but divinely infused joy and peace.
God's Love

The Parable of the Rich Man
What leads to permanent and lasting happiness? As Jesus points out, becoming “rich in what matters to God” is the key. When we place God first, and love our neighbor as another self, we soon begin to experience a perceptible, lasting happiness that is not of this world. It is “other-worldly” because it does not originate from our interior, from creatures or material possessions, but from God himself, whose bountiful love fills us with true and lasting peace, joy and happiness.

Among these interior attitudes is “First of all docility to the Word of God.”
