For what is faith but the carriage that bears us to our native land?
~Aelred of Rievaulx: In Charity Alone is True Peace and Contentment from ENLARGING THE HEART


That our heart, close to God, may be purified more and more 
until the day we are granted eternal repose.

Could "repose" be depicted any more beautifully than by 
this image of the love between Creator and creature?
