Many are the rainbows, the sunbursts, the gentle breezes— and the hailstorms— we are liable to meet before, by the grace of God, we shall be able to tumble into our graves with the confidence of tired children into their places of peaceful slumber.
–Blessed Solanus Casey (1870-1957)
We must be faithful to the present moment or we will frustrate the plan of God for our lives.
–Blessed Solanus Casey (1870-1957)
What does it matter where we go? Wherever we go, won’t we be serving God there? And wherever we go, won’t we have Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament with us? Isn’t that enough to make us happy?
–Blessed Solanus Casey (1870-1957)
We should ever be grateful for and love the vocation to which God has called us. This applies to every vocation because, after all, what a privilege it is to serve God, even in the least capacity!
–Blessed Solanus Casey (1870-1957)
A stiff apology is a second insult. The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.
–GK Chesterton (1874-1936)
What I did try to do was to thwart my self-will, which always seemed determined to get its own way; to repress the rejoinder which sometimes came to my lips; to do little acts of kindness without attaching any importance to them.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
