Who can assure us that we will be alive tomorrow? Let us listen to the voice of our conscience, to the voice of the royal prophet: “Today, if you hear God’s voice, harden not your heart.” Let us not put off from one moment to another (what we should do) because the (next moment) is not yet ours.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Let us therefore, love to quench our thirst at this fountain of living water and go forward all the time along the way of divine love. But let us also be convinced that our souls will never be satisfied here below. In fact it would be disastrous for us if, at a certain stage of our journey, we were to feel satisfied, for it would be a sign that we thought we had reached our goal, and in this we would be deceived.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Baloney is flattery laid on so thick it cannot be true, and blarney is flattery so thin we love it.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
In vocal prayer we go to God on foot. In meditation we go to God on horseback. In contemplation we go to God in a jet.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
The deaf who deny they are deaf will never hear; the sinners who deny there is sin deny thereby the remedy of sin, and thus cut themselves off forever from Him Who came to redeem.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
There is no subject on which the average mind is so much confused as the subject of tolerance and intolerance. Tolerance applies only to persons, but never to principles. Intolerance applies only to principles, but never to persons.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
