everything has is his.
If there be anywhere on earth where a lover of God is always
kept safe from falling, I know nothing of it, for it was not shown
me. But this was shown: that in falling and rising again we are
always kept in the same precious love.
Between God and the soul there is no between.
He did not say, You will never have a rough passage, you will
never be over-strained, you will never feel uncomfortable, but he
did say You will never be overcome.
Julian of Norwich (c. 1342–c. 1416) Revelations of Divine Love
All other love
The love of Christ surpasses all earthly love, and only love that originates with God has any permanence – this is the message of an anonymous fourteenth-century poet.
All other love is like the moon
That waxeth or waneth as flower in plain
As flower that blooms and fadeth soon,
As day that showereth and ends in rain.
All other love begins with bliss,
In weeping and woe makes its ending;
No love there is that’s our whole bliss
But that which rests on heaven’s king.
Anon. (c. 1350)
Alleluia
Born in present-day Algeria, Augustine was educated in North Africa and went on to become a bishop in the church there. His works, including the autobiographical Confessions, are still widely read. This particular saying has a timeless quality.
A Christian should be an alleluia from head to foot.
St Augustine of Hippo (354–430)
All-knowing God
In this psalm, the writer reflects on the fact that God has always known about him and is with him in every circumstance, having planned his life before it even began.
O LORD, you have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from far away.
You search out my path and my lying down,
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
O LORD, you know it completely.
You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is so high that I cannot attain it.
Where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
If I take the wings of the morning
and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me fast.
If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light around me become night’,
even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is as bright as the day,
