A great memory…
A great memory does not make a mind, any more than a dictionary is a piece of literature.
— Blessed John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
To remember God…
Make the habit to remember God, not only during your prayers, but at every hour and minute of the day, for He is everywhere present.
— Saint Theophan the Recluse (1815-1894)
Remember who you…
Remember who you are and whose you are.
— Sister Thea Bowman (1937-1990)
The Church is…
The Church is not an institution devised and built at table, but a living reality. She lives along the course of time by transforming Herself, like any living being, yet Her nature remains the same. At Her heart is Christ.
— Roman Guardini (1885-1968)
Turn to the Lord…
Do not grow faint in spirit, and do not despond during times of trouble; but turn to the Lord with humble prayers, and believe that help will come to you.
— Saint Moses of Optina (1782-1862)
Silence and emptiness…
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
