Resign entirely to God..
You have yet many things which you must give up, and unless you resign them entirely to God you will not obtain that which you ask.
–Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
How could life be happy…
Why persist in walking difficult and toilsome paths? There is no repose where you are seeking it. Search as you like, it is not where you are looking. You are seeking a happy life in the realm of death, and it will not be found there. How could life be happy where there is no life at all?
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Continuous desire is continuous prayer…
There is another inward kind of prayer without ceasing, which is the desire of the heart… If you do not want to pause in prayer then never pause in your longing. Your continuous desire is your continuous prayer. If you cease to desire than you will have fallen silent in your prayer.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
In judging your choice…
In judging of what you are to choose, you should consider not the plausibility of appearances, but look forward to the end.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Help the hearts of all…
It is not enough that I should serve God by myself: I must help the hearts of all to love him and the tongues of all to praise him.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Cherish those souls…
No one should call himself a friend of Christ unless he cherishes those souls that Christ redeemed by the shedding of his Blood.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
