1
God teaches the soul by pains and obstacles, not by ideas.JeanPierre De Caussade
2
There is not a moment in which God does not present Himself under the cover of some pain to be endured, of some consolation to be enjoyed, or of some duty to be performed. All that takes place within us, around us, or through us, contains and conceals His divine action.JeanPierre De Caussade
