Be like a king in your heart, seated high in humility, and commanding laughter: Go, and it goes; and sweet weeping: Come, and it comes; and our tyrant and slave, the body: Do this, and it does it.
Only the one who is clothed in blessed and grace-given mourning as in a wedding garment knows the spiritual laughter of the soul.
