6 quotes

All true morality, inward and outward, is comprehended in love, for love is the foundation of all the commandments.

Meister Eckhart’s Sermons (1909)

As God can only be seen by His own light, so He can only be loved by His own love.

Meister Eckhart’s Sermons (1909)

Love is the root of all joy and sorrow. Slavish fear of God is to be put away. The right fear is the fear of losing God.

Meister Eckhart’s Sermons (1909)

Love God, and do as you like, say the Free Spirits. Yes; but as long as you like anything contrary to God's will, you do not love Him.

Love is the root of all joy and sorrow.

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "Thank You," that would suffice.
