So well said

This reading was in the compline prayers for Holy Week in a book called "The Divine Hours".

"Faith is strengthened, increased and enriched by those very things that escape the senses; the less there is to see, the more there is to believe. To adore Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, to love the will of God in extraordinary things, does not show as much faith as loving the will of God in ordinary things and adoring Jesus on the cross." Jean-Pierre de Caussade

I have no idea who Jean-Pierre de Caussade is, but I find his words beautiful.
