Letter "F" » Fra Giovanni Giocondo Quotes
«I am your friend and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give you which you have not got, But there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven! No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant. Take peace! The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy.»

I beseech you to look!Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by their covering, cast them away as ugly, or heavy, or hard. Remove the covering, and you will find beneath it, a living splendour, woven of love, by wisdom, with power. Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the angel?s hand that brings it to you. Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty, believe me, that angel?s hand is there, and the wonder of an overshadowing presence. Our joys too; be not content with them as joys.
