The Imitation of Christ

by Thomas à Kempis

Receive my prayers, O Lord my God, and my desires of giving Thee infinite praise and unbounded benediction, which, according to the multitude of Thine unspeakable greatness, are most justly due unto Thee.

God walketh with the simple, revealeth Himself to the humble, giveth understanding to babes, openeth the sense to pure minds, and hideth grace from the curious and proud. Human reason is weak and may be deceived; but true faith cannot be deceived.

If the works of God were of such sort that they might easily be comprehended by human reason, they should no longer be called wonderful or unspeakable.
