“To escape the pain caused by regret for the past or fear about the future, this is the rule to follow: leave the past to the infinite mercy of God, the future to His good Providence, and give the present wholly to His love by being faithful to His grace.”
Jean-Pierre de Caussade, Abandonment to Divine Providence
"Man has places in his heart which do not yet exist, and into them enters suffering, in order that they may have life."
Léon Bloy
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning, or crying out in pain, for the old order of things will pass away. 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give you to drink freely from the springs of the water of life. All those who are faithful and persevere will inherit my creation. And I will be their Father, and they will be my children."
Revelation 21:3-7
