Love must cost…
Love to be real, it must cost— it must hurt— it must empty us of self.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
To give ourselves fully…
To give ourselves fully to God is a means of receiving God himself.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Words that do not…
Words that do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Things to share…
God gives us things to share, God doesn’t give us things to hold.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Our availability for prayer…
Our availability for prayer presupposes, not only faith in the importance of prayer, but also a real effort of interior detachment, which must be accepted in principle as being deep and without limit, in the very measure of our love.
–René Voillaume (1905 – 2003)
Paradox of divine love…
By a beautiful paradox of Divine love, God makes His Cross the very means of our salvation and our life. We have slain Him; we have nailed Him there and crucified Him; but the Love in His eternal heart could not be extinguished. He willed to give us the very life we slew; to give us the very Food we destroyed; to nourish us with the very Bread we buried, and the very Blood we poured forth. He made our very crime into a happy fault; He turned a Crucifixion into a Redemption; a Consecration into a Communion; a death into Life Everlasting
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
