Saying much in few words…
Genuine good taste consists in saying much in few words, in choosing among our thoughts, in having order and arrangement in what we say, and in speaking with composure.
–François Fénèlon (1651-1715)
God’s generosity, goodness, and love…
Let popes, pastors, and everyone else blush for shame at our foolishness and pride and self-indulgence, when we see such generosity, goodness, and boundless love on our Creator’s part! He showed himself to us in our own humanity as a tree laden with sweet mellow fruit, so that we wild trees might be able to engraft ourselves onto him.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Imitate Christ’s life…
We must imitate Christ’s life and his ways if we are to be truly enlightened and set free from the darkness of our own hearts. Let it be the most important thing we do, then, to reflect on the life of Jesus Christ.
–Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
As much as…
As much as a cup could hold all the waters of the ocean, so much can our little mind hold the ocean of the Godhead, of divine wisdom.
–Augoustinos Kantiotis (1907-2010)
Become a saint…
It is better to err by excess of mercy than by excess of severity. . .Wilt thou become a Saint? Be severe to thyself but kind to others.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Accept the risen Jesus…
Accept the risen Jesus into your life. Even if you have been far away, take a small step towards Him. He awaits you with open arms.
— Pope Francis (1936-
