perfect humility

Whoever you may be who truly turn from the world to God, trust faithfully that, without any concern on your part, God will send you one of two things: either abundance of necessities, or the strength of body and endurance ofspirit to suffer need. Why should you care which of these you have? - because for true contemplatives it is all the same.

To those who have perfect humility, nothing shall be lacking, either in body or in spirit; because they have God, in whom is all plenty; and whoever has him - and that is the lesson of this book - needs nothing else in this life.
