Always fleeting pleasures…
Foolish is he who follows the pleasures of this world, because these are always fleeting and bring much pain. The only true pleasure is that which comes to us through faith.
–Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901-1925)
Finding God…
Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.
— Pedro Arrupe (1907-1991)
The spiritual life…
The spiritual life consists in two things—mortification and the love of God.
–Blessed Matt Talbot (1856-1925)
The human soul…
The human soul is a barren soil in in which useless and noxious herbs constantly spring up. We must practice being holy and do penance always.
–Blessed Matt Talbot (1856-1925)
Jesus Christ is…
Jesus Christ is at once the beginning, the way and the immortal end which we must strive to gain, but above all in Holy Communion. He is the Life of our souls.
–Blessed Matt Talbot (1856-1925)
God will help…
Have hope and firm faith in God, for he will help you in everything. Pray to him, humble yourself under his great power, because, without a doubt, as he has given you this charge, so he will give you also the strength to be able to carry it out.
–Saint Angela Merici (1474-1540)
