We must be compassionate…
The Lord has loved me so much: we must love everyone… we must be compassionate!
–Saint Josephine Bakhita (1869-1947)
Miss no opportunity…
Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest thing right and doing it all for love…Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Great deeds are forbidden me…
Great deeds are forbidden me. I cannot preach the Gospel nor shed my blood – but what does it matter? Others toil instead of me, and I, a little child, keep close by the throne of God and I love for those who fight. Love proves itself in deeds. I will scatter flowers, perfuming the Divine Throne, and I will sweetly sing my hymn of love. These flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least of actions for love.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Choosing our Lord…
We can prove we love our Lord only by choosing Him in preference to anything else.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Complete abstinence…
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Desire in prayer…
God wills that our desire should be exercised in prayer, that we may be able to receive what He is prepared to give.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
