Then let us rise above all imperfection, and set our heart on true virtues, which are of such joy and gladsomeness as tongue could not tell. There is none who can give pain to the soul founded on virtue, or take from it the hope of heaven. #Advent #Hope

Merry Christmas from the mystic_chickens! #chickens #MerryChrismas

"It is ful mery in heaven" - Sister Margery Taken by a fox this afternoon, to be with the lover of her soul. May she rest in peace and rise in glory. #RIPMargery

Ther is no gyft so holy as is the gyft of lofe, ne nothing to be so mech desyred as lofe. Margery's final gyft of lofe, an 82g double-yoker #RIPMargery #Chickens

I created and redeemed you. I did you every good. I gave sense, understanding, and wisdom. But you are like the blind, because you do not know where you are headed. You have eyes in your head but look only to your own interest. #BrexitVote

For our soul is so specially loved of Him that is highest, that it overpasseth the knowing of all creatures: that is to say, there is no creature that is made that may fully know how much and how sweetly and how tenderly our Maker loveth us ❤️ #BlueMonday #Resistance

'I love your soul so dearly that, rather than losing you, I would let myself be crucified again, if it were possible.' Bridget of Sweden, patron of failures, on the day of her first pale blue egg #TuesdayThoughts #Chickens

I was overwhelmed with visible graces, with ineffable sweetnesses, with abundant consolations. My soul enjoyed a profound peace. #7eggsinaday #chickens

The bliss and the fulfilling shall be so deep and so high that, for wonder and marvel, all creatures shall have to God so great reverent dread... But this trembling shall have no pain; marvelling simply at the greatness of God the Maker and at the littleness of all that is made.

Once you have received the Light, you are like a young plant which has escaped the wintry cold of faithlessness, and expands in the warmth and light of the Holy Spirit, bearing flowers of virtue

Oh, powerful love of God, how different you are from the world's love! This latter love doesn't want company since company would oblige it to give up what it possesses. In the case of the love of my God, the more lovers that love knows there are, the more it increases #Valentines

And I understood none higher stature in this life than Childhood, in feebleness and failing of might and of wit; this new beginning shall last without end. #ThrowbackThursday #sixmonthsago

may the fruit of our labour be of service to your kingdom #eggboy

The important thing is not to think much but to love much; and so do that which best stirs you to love. #broodychickens

Grant me to reach the perfection of eternity, under the shadow of your wings #novices #chickens

I hide under the wings of the cherubim; I learn the mysteries… for I see with the eyes of the innocent.

Jesus Christ is our Very Mother: we have our Being of Him,—where the Ground of Motherhood beginneth,—with all the sweet Keeping of Love that endlessly followeth.

Fear nothing from henceforward; be consoled, take courage, and be at rest.

And because of the great, unending love that God has for all humankind, he makes no distinction in love between the blessed soul of Christ and the least soul that shall be saved. #COVIDー19

The love of our neighbour in all its fullness simply means being able to say, 'What are you going through?' #Covid19Out
