the slow work of God

[Gabrielle Dean]

Two quotes that echo something from Gemma’s sermon yesterday... 

"All real progress in spiritual things comes gently, imperceptibly, and is the work of God. Our crude efforts spoil it… Think of the Infinite Goodness, never of your own state. Realize that the very capacity to pray at all is the free gift of the divine love". — Evelyn Underhill

"Above all, trust in the slow work of God." Teilhard de Chardin

Children - some of the slow work of God 😊
