Johannes Tauler Quotes

Your meditations may be as profound, as exalted, as devout as you like; you may practise every pious exercise you can manage, but all this is as nothing in comparison with the Blessed Sacrament. What we do may be godly, but this sacrament is God Himself! Picture Quote #1

Often when He comes, He finds the soul occupied. Other guests are there, and He has to turn away. He cannot gain entry, for we love and desire other things; therefore, His gifts, which He is offering to everyone unceasingly, must remain outside Picture Quote #1

Judge yourself; if you do that you will not be judged by God, as St. Paul says. But it must be a real sense of your own sinfulness, not an artificial humility Picture Quote #1

In the most intimate, hidden and innermost ground of the soul, God is always essentially, actively, and substantially present. Here the soul possesses everything by grace which God possesses by nature Picture Quote #1

In the kingdom of heaven it is His work that will be crowned, not yours. Anything in you that He has not wrought Himself will count for nothing Picture Quote #1

In prayerful silence you must look into your own heart. No one can tell you better than yourself what comes between you and God. Ask yourself. Then listen! Picture Quote #1

God touches and moves, warns and desires all equally, and He wants one quite as much as another. The inequality lies in the way in which His touch, His warnings, and His gifts are received Picture Quote #1

Spiritually good people, pure in heart, who long for the Blessed Sacrament but cannot receive at the time, can receive spiritually... even a hundred times a day, in sickness and in health, with immeasurable grace and profit Picture Quote #1

Give yourself entirely to God, enter and hide in the hidden ground of your soul Picture Quote #1

Like blind hens, we are ignorant of our own self and the depths within us Picture Quote #1

Man must do his part and detach himself from created things Picture Quote #1

In the school of the spirit, man learns wisdom through humility Picture Quote #1

He who desires to become a spiritual man must not be ever taking note of others, and above all of their sins, lest he fall into wrath and bitterness, and a judging spirit towards his neighbors Picture Quote #1

Because in the school of the Spirit man learns wisdom through humility, knowledge by forgetting, how to speak by silence, how to live by dying Picture Quote #1

A good meditation, even when it is interrupted by occasional nodding, is much more beneficial than many outward religious exercises Picture Quote #1

I never mingled with men, but I came home less of a man than I went out Picture Quote #1

You have within you many strong and cruel enemies to overcome. You must know that there are still a thousand ties which you must break. No one can tell you what they are; only you can tell by looking at yourself and into your heart Picture Quote #1

Such sins, even if they do not kill all grace in us, do harm, nevertheless; and though they are only venial in themselves, they make us apt, ready, and inclined to lose grace and to fall into mortal sin Picture Quote #1

Never believe that true prayer consists in mere babbling, reciting so many psalms and vigils, saying your beads while you allow your thoughts to roam Picture Quote #1

If we really want to achieve true prayer, we must turn our backs upon everything temporal, everything external, everything that is not divine Picture Quote #1

Every one should find some suitable time, day or night, to sink into his depths, each according to his own fashion. Not every one is able to engage in contemplative prayer Picture Quote #1
