“I remain thankful to God for all his mercies.”
“If I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his callousness can remain sane to the hideous end!”
“God never witholds from His child that which His love and wisdom call good. God's refusals are always merciful -- "severe mercies" at times but mercies all the same. God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.”
“I thank you, God, who lives always, and Who, as i awaken, has in mercy returned my soul to me; we can ever trust in you.”
“When God intends great mercy for his people, he first of all sets them praying.”
“Once, I remember, Father Abbot said that our purpose is justice, and with God lies the privilege of mercy. But even God, when he intends mercy, needs tools to his hand.”
