I am your friend and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give you which you have not got, But there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant. Take peace The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy.
More Quotes from Fra Giovanni Giocondo:
Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by the covering, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, with power.Fra Giovanni Giocondo
Everything we call a trial, a sorrow or a duty, believe me, that angel's hand is there, the gift is there, and the wonder of an overshadowing presence. Our joys, too, be not content with them as joys. They, too, conceal diviner gifts.
Fra Giovanni Giocondo
Courage you have, and the knowledge that we are all pilgrims together, wending through unknown country, home.
Fra Giovanni Giocondo
No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant.
Fra Giovanni Giocondo
I greet you. Not quite as the world sends greetings, but with profound esteem and with the prayer that for you now and forever, the day breaks, and the shadows flee away.
Fra Giovanni Giocondo
