Gladly endure…
Gladly endure whatever goes against you and do not let good fortune carry you away; for this can destroy faith.
–Saint Clare of Assisi (1194-1253)
Go forth in peace…
Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for he who created you has made you holy, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother.
–Saint Clare of Assisi (1194-1253)
Unite myself with God…
The knowledge that it was impossible to do anything of myself greatly simplified my task. Confident that the rest would be given me over and above, the one aim of my interior life was to unite myself more and more closely with God.
–Saint Therese Lisieux (1873-1897)
To suffer for God…
For my heart is always with Him, day and night it thinks unceasingly of its heavenly and divine Friend, to whom it wants to prove its affection. Also within it arises this desire: not to die, but to suffer long, to suffer for God, to give Him its life while praying for poor sinners.
–Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906)
Open your soul…
Open your soul and entertain the glory of God, and after a while that glory will be reflected in the world about you and in the very clouds above your head.
–Frank Laubach (1884–1970)
Deeds more than words…
Love ought to consist of deeds more than of words.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
