Temptations are from the devil…
Your temptations are from the devil and from Hell; but your sufferings and afflictions are from God and Heaven.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
The cross will not crush…
The Cross will not crush you; if its weight makes you stagger, its power will also sustain you.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Progress in slow steps…
Be content to progress in slow steps until you have legs to run and wings with which to fly.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Be a man of faith….
You cannot be a man of faith unless you know how to doubt.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
Become perfectly free…
I can only become perfectly free by serving the will of God.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
Become not attached…
God doesn’t ask that we succeed in everything, but that we are faithful. However beautiful our work may be, let us not become attached to it. Always remain prepared to give it up, without losing your peace.
–Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
