raissa3We do not have rest except when our will is accomplished… If we are united to God to the point of no longer distinguishing our will from his, we have found rest indeed, joy also.
Raïssa Maritain (1883–1960)

    ‘For I shall never have true rest, nor peace, till I am held so close to Him that there is nothing in between’ ~ Julian of Norwich.
