Give not your heart…
Give not your heart to that which does not satisfy your heart.
–Saint Poeman (c. 340 – c. 450) (a Desert Father)
Keep our eyes on Jesus Christ…
Let us keep our eyes on Jesus Christ to contemplate Him, our mouth employed to praise Him, our whole heart intent on nothing less than to please Him without limits.
–Saint Francis de Sales, (1567-1622)
Begin again daily…
It is right that you should begin again every day. There is no better way to complete the spiritual life than to be ever beginning it over again.
–Saint Francis de Sales, (1567-1622)
We can all love…
Not all of us can fast, or undertake arduous journeys in God’s service, or give generous alms, but we can all love. All it takes is the sincere desire to do so.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Through confession purify…
Be brave and try to detach your heart from worldly things. Do your utmost to banish darkness from your mind and come to understand what true, selfless piety is. Through confession, endeavor to purify your heart of anything which may still taint it. Enliven your faith, which is essential to understand and achieve piety.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
We will be judged by…
At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.”
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
