Quotes from Henry Suso

Nowhere does Jesus hear our prayers more readily than in the Blessed Sacrament

By ignorance the truth is known.

It is inner abandonment that leads men to the highest truth.

Let each look to himself and see what God wants of him and attend to this, leaving all else alone.

If you strive to do your best in all things, people will take it as being the worst thing possible from you. And those whom you strive to treat most circumspectly will reward you most ungraciously. No one can please everyone to the same degree. If, however, you want to try it, you will be out of step with God and the truth. Base people's rebukes are the praises of good people.

By ignorance the truth is known.

One should not judge pleasure according to the senses. One should judge it according to truth. . . . The power to renounce gives one more power than to possess things." ? Henry Suso, Henry Suso: The Exemplar, with Two German Sermons
