In such condition, it is well for you to apply yourself to humble, outward works and to refresh yourself in good deeds, to await with unshaken confidence My heavenly visitation, patiently to bear your exile and dryness of mind until you are again visited by Me and freed of all anxieties.

I love that the good works are not the goal that a Kempis strove for . . . that a Kempis views good works as the lesser experience to his connection to Christ.
