How happy I should be if I were as deeply and closely united to God as I am distanced and alienated from the world!
Saint Francis de Sales

    Awww….He’s very lovable. Of the three big St Francis’ he’s my favourite one.

    Reblogged this on multicolouredsmartypants and commented:
    Brings to mind a quote from Julian of Norwich ‘What is He indeed that is maker and lover and keeper? I cannot find words to tell. For until I am one with Him, I can never have true rest nor peace. I can never know it until I am so close to Him that there is nothing in between.’
