Cast Aside and discover Hidden Sweetness

Place your mind before the mirror of eternity, place your soul in the brightness of His glory,
place your heart in the image of the divine essence and transform yourself by contemplation
utterly into the image of His divinity, that you too may feel what His friends feel as they taste
the hidden sweetness that God himself has set aside from the beginning for those who love Him.
Casting aside all things in this false and troubled world that ensnare those who love them blindly,
give all your love to Him who gave Himself in all for you to love:
Whose beauty the sun and moon admire, and whose gifts are abundant and precious and grand without end.
- Saint Clare of Assisi
