Prayer begins with…
Prayer begins with a return to the heart, finding one’s deepest center, awakening the profound depths of our being in the presence of God who is the source of our being and of our life.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
God will bless us with grace…
God does not require of us more than we can deliver… He will not push you beyond your strength and capacity… We do our part and God does the rest. He will bless us with his grace and allow us to accomplish wonderful things we can’t even imagine.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)
All spiritual…
A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
Let life alone…
We live on the brink of disaster because we do not know how to let life alone. We do not respect the living and fruitful contradictions and paradoxes of which true life is full.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
Hope in God…
The more desperate things seem, the more must we hope in God. When man’s aid fails, God’s is close at hand.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Fixed on God…
He lives the blessed life who, so far as possible, has his mind continually fixed on God and God in his mind.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
