from the Cistercian Studies quarterly quoting William of Saint-Thierry (in The Golden Epistle) addressing the new Cistercian reform monks:
"It is for others to serve God, it is for you to cling to him; it is for others to believe in God, know him, love him and revere him: it is for you to taste him, understand him, be acquainted with him, enjoy him."
"It is for others to serve God, it is for you to cling to him; it is for others to believe in God, know him, love him and revere him: it is for you to taste him, understand him, be acquainted with him, enjoy him."
