Our free will…
God never violates our free will. It is up to us whether we want to receive God’s grace or not. It is up to us whether we will cooperate with it or waste it.
–Saint Faustina (1905-1938)
True love consists…
God made known to me, what true love consists in and gave light to me about how, in practice, to give proof of it to Him. True love of God consists in carrying out God’s will. To show God our love in what we do, all our actions, even the least, must spring from our love of God.
–Saint Faustina (1905-1938)
Terrible sufferings…
There are times when He Himself allows terrible sufferings, and then again there are times when He does not let me suffer and removes everything that might afflict my soul. These are His ways, unfathomable and incomprehensible to us. It is for us to submit ourselves completely to His holy will. There are mysteries that the human mind will never fathom here on earth; eternity will reveal them.
— Saint Faustina (1905-1938)
God gives grace…
We know certainly that our God calls us to a holy life. We know that he gives us every grace, every abundant grace; and though we are so weak of ourselves, this grace is able to carry us through every obstacle and difficulty.
— Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821)
If tempted to stop praying…
This, then, is your answer whenever you feel tempted to stop praying because it seems to be a waste of time: `I am here to please God.’
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
Seek God alone…
The human heart is constantly seeking good things that will make it happy; but if it seeks them from creatures, it will never be satisfied, no matter how many it acquires. If it seeks God alone, God will satisfy all its desires.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
