Let’s bless our Lord whether we are in prosperity or in suffering, for these blend together in life–joy will follow our suffering, and those sufferings, in turn, will be followed by joy.
–Blessed Luisitia Josefa (1866-1937)
Try not to worry. Everything in life has its ups and downs, yet above everything else, we must live a life of faith, seeing all things as coming from the hand of God and for our own good.
–Blessed Luisitia Josefa (1866-1937)
Rejoice in being little, humble and simple.
–Blessed Luisitia Josefa (1866-1937)
If we have nothing, we can give nothing; but if we have a little, let’s give a little. If we have much, let’s give accordingly. In all cases, let charity be our guide, for ultimately it will be to our advantage.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
An effective but often neglected means of gaining Paradise is almsgiving. By almsgiving I mean any work of mercy exercised toward one’s neighbor for the love of God.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
It is not enough to take the cross in our hands and kiss it. We must carry it.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
