Speaking of “Conscience and Death”
Thomas à Kempis CRSA (1380-1471)
“If you have a good conscience,
you would not greatly fear death.”
“The glory of the good,
is in their consciences
and not, in the tongues of men.”
“Happy is the man
who renounces everything,
which may bring a stain or burden,
upon his conscience”
“He has great tranquillity of heart,
who cares neither for the praises,
nor the fault-finding of men.
He will easily be content and pacified,
whose conscience is pure.
You are not holier if you are praised,
nor the more worthless,
if you are found fault with.
What you are, that you are;
neither by word can you be made greater,
than what you are in the sight of God.”
“Love alone makes heavy burdens light
and bears in equal balance,
things pleasing and displeasing.
Love bears a heavy burden
and does not feel it
and love, makes bitter things,
tasteful and sweet.”
“Without labour there is no rest,
nor without fighting,
can the victory be won.”
“You shall rest sweetly,
if your heart condemns you not.”
AnaStpaul
