The bond of our union with God is the love of God above all things. ‘‘He that dwells in charity dwells in God and God in him” Here is the link of gold which joins the soul of God. Keep that link fast, and do not be afraid when the consciousness of your past sins and of your many temptations seem to come down upon you and overwhelm you as a flood. In those darkest times, be sure that if you love God you are still united with Him. It is not when we walk in the brightness of the noonday only, that we are united with Him. The purest union with God is when we walk with Him in the darkness, without consolation and without joy, having no other guide; our hand in His hand; going on like children, not knowing whither, but obeying the inspirations of God to do or not to do as He wills: out in the bleak cold sky, with no joy in our prayers and no rest of heart, in constant inward fears, with temptations all around but always faithful to the guidance of the Spirit of God. “Whosoever are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God”
There are two axioms in the kingdom of God which never fail; no penitent soul can perish, and no soul that loves God can be lost.
- Cardinal Manning
Never depart from Jesus on earth if thou wouldst live and rejoice with Jesus in heaven.
