Our Father said from our heart…
Much more is accomplished by a single word of the Our Father said, now and then, from our heart, than by the whole prayer repeated many times in haste and without attention.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Who the Father is…
When I repeat the “Our Father,” my love should make me want to understand Who this Father of ours is and Who the Master is that taught us this prayer.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
We will be judged…
At the end of life we will be judged on how much we have loved.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Give an account…
How can you venture to live without fear, seeing that you must appear before God to give an account of your lightest words and thoughts?
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Three kinds of love…
Three kinds of love: 1. the soul now loves God, not through itself but through Himself. 2. the soul is absorbed in the love of God and God surrenders Himself to the soul with great vehemence. 3. the soul loves Him for Who He is.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Being considerate…
We may be excused for not always being bright, but we are not excused for not being gracious, yielding and considerate.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
