[Christ] belongs to you, but more than that, he longs to be in you, living and ruling in you, as the head lives and rules the body. He wants his breath to be in your breath, his heart in your heart, and his soul in your soul.
–Saint John Eudes (1601-1680)
The Church had learnt, not at the end but at the beginning of her centuries, that the funeral of God is always a premature burial.
–GK Chesterton (1874-1936)
When we dare to testify to joy, in this world and now, is because we accept what God wants to give us.
–Jean-Marie Lustinger (1926-2007)
Instead of condemning others, strive to reach inner peace. Keep silent, refrain from judgement. This will raise you above the deadly arrows of slander, insult and outrage and will shield your glowing hearts against all evil.
–Saint Seraphim of Sarov (1754-1833)
Be as blind to the faults of your neighbors is possible, trying at least to attribute a good intention of their actions.
–Blessed Solanus Casey (1870-1957)
Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved; the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle again.
–Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)
