To know God…
To know God and to understand His ways and to watch in His presence in all sanctity is the great end of life.
–Blessed Matt Talbot (1856-1925)
The more we pray…
The more we pray, the more we wish to pray. Like a fish which at first swims on the surface of the water, and afterwards plunges down, and is always going deeper; the soul plunges, dives, and loses itself in the sweetness of conversing with God.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Everything is gift…
Everything is a gift. The degree to which we are awake to this truth is a measure of our gratefulness, and gratefulness is a measure of our aliveness.
–David Stendl-Rast (1926-
Prayer can change your life…
Prayer can truly change your life. For it turns your attention away from yourself and directs your mind and your heart toward the Lord.
–Saint John Paul (1920-2005)
Never utter in…
Never utter in your neighbors’ absence what you would not say in their presence.
–Saint Mary Magdalen de Pazzi (1566-1607)
Prayer ought to be…
Prayer ought to be humble, fervent, resigned, persevering, and accompanied with great reverence. One should consider that he stands in the presence of a God, and speaks with a Lord before whom the angels tremble from awe and fear.
–Saint Mary Magdalen de Pazzi (1566-1607)
