God knows and does…
Still, God our Lord knows what He is doing. He never errs and does everything for our own good, for our sanctification. All we have to do is to respect His designs and be submissive.
–Blessed Luisitia Josefa (1866-1937)
When working for a Master…
Nothing seems tiresome or painful when you are working for a Master who pays well; who rewards even a cup of cold water given for love of Him.
–Saint Dominic Savio (1842-1857)
The humble soul…
The proud person is like a grain of wheat thrown into water: it swells, it gets big. Expose that grain to the fire: it dries up, it burns. The humble soul is like a grain of wheat thrown into the earth: it descends, it hides itself, it disappears, it dies; but to revive in heaven.
–Blessed Mary of Jesus Crucified (1846-1878)
Pray without tiring…
We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on material success; nor on sciences that cloud the intellect. Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus alone.
–Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917)
Truly believe with…
Truly believe, with the faith which knows that nothing is impossible, which makes words like worry, danger or fear, lose all meaning.
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
To serve others…
To serve others, I need gentleness, humility, abjection, and charity. In every sick person I should see, not a human being, but Jesus, and so should show him respect, love, compassion, joy, and gratitude at being able to serve him, zeal and gentleness. I should serve the sick as I do the poor, making myself do the lowliest services for them all, as Jesus washed the apostles’ feet. I must tolerate the presence of evil people, as long as their wickedness is not corrupting others — as Jesus tolerated Judas.
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
