He only asks of you abandonment and perfect submission. Nothing displeases Him so much as your uneasiness and despondency. What do you fear? Is He not powerful enough to support you? Why, then, are you so reserved with Him? Let Him act!
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647- 1690)
Let us have no further reserve with Him; let us abandon to Him all that we are, without anxiety about the future, not reflecting on ourselves and our incapacity.
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647- 1690)
It is only necessary to say energetically “I will,” and all will go well.
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the heart of Jesus.
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
… live authentically and wholeheartedly as God’s, handing
over our own plans and desires and picking up His plans and desires.
–Brother Lawrence (1614-1691)
That we ought, once for all, heartily to put our whole trust in God, and make a total surrender of ourselves to Him, secure that He would not deceive us.
–Brother Lawrence (1614-1691)
