A mystery does not need to be proved, but simply proclaimed. It would not be a wholly divine mystery if you added to it anything of your own. Besides, the reason it is called a mystery is that we cannot penetrate its depths.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
The more steadfastly and patiently we bear the burden of our cross, the more abundantly are the gifts of God, obtained by the Cross of Christ, granted unto us.
–Saint Philaret of Moscow (1782-1867)
Prayer is a pure elevation of our minds to God, believing that he is more in us than we are in ourselves.
–Saint Jane Frances de Chantal (1572-1641)
What we know about God is important, but what we do with what we know about God is even more important.
–Richard Rohr (1943-
Prayer must lead us beyond mind, words, and ideas to a more spacious place where God has a chance to get in.
–Richard Rohr (1943-
We do not think ourselves into a new way of living. We live ourselves into new ways of thinking.
–Richard Rohr (1943-
