Time spent in prayer…
Time spent in prayer is never wasted.
–François Fénèlon (1651-1715)
Capable of contemplative prayer…
Everyone is capable of inward contemplative prayer, and it is a terrible shame that almost all people have it in their heads not to do it. We are all called to this prayer as we are all called to eternal life. Contemplative prayer is nothing more than heartfelt affection and love. What is necessary is to love God and to focus on him.
–Jean Guyon (1648-1717)
An inexhaustible fountain…
The Sacred Heart of Christ is an inexhaustible fountain and its sole desire is to pour itself out into the hearts of the humble so as to free them and prepare them to lead lives according to his good pleasure.
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
Let nothing trouble you…
Keep your heart in peace and let nothing trouble you, not even your faults. You must humble yourself and amend them peacefully, without being discouraged or cast down, for God’s dwelling is in peace.
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
Faithfully, joyfully, willingly…
You know what you have to do. Correspond faithfully, joyfully and willingly to the lights He gives you.
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647- 1690)
Three kinds of people…
There are three kinds of people: those who have sought God and found him, and these are reasonable and happy; those who seek God and have not yet found him, and these are reasonable and unhappy; and those who neither seek God nor find him, and these are unreasonable and unhappy.
–Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
