not of this world

But You caressed my head, though I knew it not, and closed my eyes that they should not see vanity; and I ceased from myself a little and found sleep from my madness. And from that sleep I awakened in You, and I saw You as infinite in a different way; but that sight was not with the eyes of flesh.

-Augustine, Confessions, Book VII, XIV

-St. Augustine
Soliloguies, Book I, 19

Our Lord knows I am at His service. He can do with me just whatever He wishes.

-Mother Teresa
