God condescends to…
God condescends to use our powers if we don’t spoil His plans by ours.
–Blessed Solanus Casey (1870-1957)
Each must be accepted…
[M]ay you continue to be well and happy–the way God wants you to be. Joys and sufferings constantly follow one after another in this life and each must be accepted by us in whatever manner God sends them.
–Blessed Luisitia Josefa (1866-1937)
Given over to God’s will…
The Lord has given the Holy Spirit upon the earth, and in whomsoever He dwells, that one feels paradise within himself. You might say: why hasn’t this happened to me? Because you have not given yourself over to the will of God, but you live according to yourself. Look at the one who loves his own will. He never has peace in himself and is always displeased with something. But whoever has given himself over to God’s will perfectly has pure prayer. His soul loves the Lord, and everything is acceptable and good to him.
–Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938)
The will of God…
It is a great good to be given over to the will of God. Then the Lord alone is in the soul, and no other thought, and she prays to God with a pure mind. When the soul is entirely given over to the will of God, then the Lord Himself begins to guide her, and the soul learns directly from God .
–Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938)
Be filled with confidence…
Don’t worry about anything that’s going on in this world. Concern yourself with the next. In all of your difficulties and fears, turn to your good Jesus. He will help you and inspire you as to what you should do. He will give you strength and all the other virtues you need as well. Therefore, be happy and filled with confidence wherever Our Lord places you and however He wants you.
–Blessed Luisitia Josefa (1866-1937)
All confidence in God…
Let’s place all our confidence in God, always and for everything.
–Blessed Luisitia Josefa (1866-1937)
