Never let it rest…
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. ‘Til your good is better and your better is best.
— Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
If we go with God…
If we will go with God upon the highway of love, we shall rest with Him eternally and without end: and thus we shall eternally go forth towards God and enter into Him and rest in Him.
–Blessed John Ruysbroeck (1293-1381)
Every day we are dying…
Every day we are changing, every day we are dying, and yet we fancy ourselves eternal.
— Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
Remedy for dryness…
The best remedy for dryness of spirit, is to picture ourselves as beggars in the presence of God and the Saints, and like a beggar, to go first to one saint, then to another, to ask a spiritual alms of them with the same earnestness as a poor fellow in the streets would ask an alms of us.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
Mortify one passion…
To mortify one passion, no matter how small, is a greater help in the spiritual life than many abstinences, fasts, and disciplines.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
Cast yourself into…
Cast yourself into the arms of God and be very sure that if He wants anything of you, He will lift you for the work and give you strength.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
