Rooted in love…
Our life is all grounded and rooted in love, and without love we may not live.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
You shall not be overcome…
[God] did not say ‘You shall not be tempest-tossed, you shall not be work-weary, you shall not be discomforted’. But he did say, ‘You shall not be overcome.’ God wants us to heed these words so that we shall always be strong in trust, both is sorrow and in joy.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
If we should at anytime fail…
And if we can our blindness and weakness should it any time fall,,, we should quickly rise… and go at once to God in love; not on the one hand crawling abjectly as if we were in despair, nor, on the other, being over-bold as if we thought it did not matter.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
One can never learn…
A man can never learn what divine power is while he abides in comfort and spacious living.
–Saint Isaac of Syria (Seventh Century)
Be a lover of silence…
If you love truth, be a lover of silence. Silence, like the sunlight will illuminate you in God.
–Saint Isaac of Syria (Seventh Century)
God requires us…
Reflect that God requires nothing else of us except that we show our neighbors the love we have for God.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
