Avarice breeds envy…
Avarice breeds envy, a worm that is always gnawing, letting the avaricious enjoy neither their own nor anyone else’s good.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Lose yourself on the Cross…
He will provide the way and the means, such as you could never have imagined. Leave it all to Him, let go of yourself, lose yourself on the Cross, and you will find yourself entirely.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Grace will move…
Grace will move you only when you want it to move you, and only when you let it move you. The supernatural order supposes the freedom of the natural order, but it does not destroy it.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Envy is sadness…
Envy is sadness at another’s good, and joy at another’s evil. What rust is to iron, what moths are to wool, what termites are to wood, that is what envy is to the soul: the assassination of brotherly love. Envy manifests itself in discord, hatred, malicious joy, backbiting, detraction, imputing evil motives, jealousy, and calumny.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
How God is to be loved…
You have asked me to tell you why and how God is to be loved. God himself is the reason why. Without limit is how.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
To be humble when you are…
It is no great thing to be humble when you are brought low; but to be humble when you are praised is a great and rare attainment.
— Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
