The Three Principles of the Divine Essence
Chapter 25: The Suffering, Dying, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ the Son of God: Also of his Ascension into Heaven, and sitting at the Right-hand of God his Father. The Gate of our Misery; and also the strong Gate of the Divine Power in his Love. (85)
If you will pray to God, then call upon God (your heavenly Father) in the Name of his son Jesus Christ, [desiring] that he would forgive your Sins, for the Sake of his Sufferings and Death, and give you what is good for you, and may further your Salvation. Give up and yield all whatsoever is earthly to his Pleasure and Will; for we know not what we should desire and pray for, but the holy Spirit helps us in Christ Jesus, before his heavenly Father. Therefore there is no Need of many Words [or long Prayers,] but a believing Soul, which with its whole earnest [resolved Purpose] yields itself up into the Mercy of God, to live in his Will, in the Body of Jesus Christ, and continues constant; then he is sure and safe from the Devil.
