What you are…
What you are must always displease you, if you would attain to that which you are not.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)

The definition of “Christian” is the imitation of Christ.
–Saint Basil the Great (330-379)
A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love.
–Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Joy is prayer – Joy is strength – Joy is love – Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. God loves a cheerful giver. She gives most who gives with joy. The best way to show our gratitude to God and the people is to accept everything with joy. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love. Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen.
–Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
One with a spirit of joy preaches without preaching.
–Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Holiness is a disposition of the heart that makes us humble and little in the arms of God, aware of our weakness, and confident — in the most audacious way — in His Fatherly goodness.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
