When God loves…
For when God loves, all He desires is to be loved in return. The sole purpose of His love is to be loved, in the knowledge that those who love Him are made happy by their love of Him.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
A person who prays carelessly…
A person who prays carelessly, and still expects his prayers to be heard, is likened to a man who pours into the mill bad grain, and expects to receive good flour in return.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
All must be saints…
All of us must be saints in this world. Holiness is a duty for you and me. So let’s be saints and so give glory to the Father.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
We need silence…
The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life. We need silence to be able to touch souls.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Fact of death…
The fact of death should not sadden us. The only thing that should sadden us is to know that we are not saints.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Prayer changes us…
I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
