Year with God: Living Out the Spiritual Disciplines

by Richard J. Foster

Despite their disobedience, man and woman never cease to be conversation partners with God.

My dearest Lord, be thou a bright flame before me, a guiding star above me, a smooth path beneath me, a kindly shepherd behind me, today and for evermore. —St. Columba of Iona

Eternal Trinity, you are a deep sea, into which the more I enter the more I find, and the more I find the more I seek. The soul ever hungers in your abyss, Eternal Trinity, longing to see you with the light of your light, and as the deer yearns for the springs of water, so my soul yearns to see you in truth. —St. Catherine of Siena
