The divine will…
The divine will is a balm which heals every wound. We should caress it and love it in adversity as well as in prosperity.
–Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775)
The will of God…
Be resigned to the will of God in all things; make frequent acts of submission; regard with the eye of faith all interior and exterior troubles as coming from God; do not think of the future – that is, of its misfortunes, its trials, and other occurrences which the imagination may conjure up, but dispel them in the will of God.
–Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775)
The will of God…

–Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775)
Serve the Lord…
Every creature, whether it will or not, is subject to the one God and Lord; but a warning is given to us, to serve the Lord with our whole will, because the just man serves Him willingly, but the unjust serves Him as a slave.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Spare the faith…

Until this day, the world was Christian without your doctrine. Thus, I hold as an old man onto that faith wherein I was regenerated as a boy.
–Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
Prayer is the…
Prayer is the deliberate and persevering action of the soul. It is true and enduring, and full of grace. Prayer fastens the soul to God and makes it one with God’s will.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
