Be very little…
Little, be very little, be very little before God.
–Saint Jeanne Jugan (1792-1879)
Extend mercy towards…
Extend mercy towards others, so that there can be no one in need whom you meet without helping. For what hope is there for us if God should withdraw his mercy from us?
–Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660)
Today God invited…
Today God invited you to do good; do it therefore today. Tomorrow you may not have time, or God may no longer call you to do it.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
A contrite heart…
If it happens that someone cannot weep, a single word from a contrite heart is enough for God. And if someone would lose the use of his tongue, God would be well pleased with the moaning of his heart.
–Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Better to confess…
For it is better for a man to confess his sins than to harden his heart.
–Saint Clement (First Century)
It is in solitude…
It is in solitude that we discover that being is more important than having and that we are worth more than the results of our efforts. In solitude we discover that our life is not a possession to be defended but a gift to be shared.
–Henri Nouwen (1932–1996)
