Practice prayer…
It is of great importance, when we begin to practice prayer, not to let ourselves be frightened by our own thoughts.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Jesus Christ endured for us…
There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.
–Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582)
We must trust in God…
We must trust in God in all temptations, in all desolate conditions of the soul. The Lord will deliver.
— Saint John of Kronstadt (1829-1908)
Holiness comes from love…
You must be most loyal to our Lord Jesus Christ by giving Him the glory for any virtues you possess. You must also love Him fervently, if you would be perfect, for holiness comes from love, and the greater the love, the greater the saint. The best proof we can give of our love for Christ is to obey His commands and bear the cross for Him; the greater the mortifications and hardships this entails, the more does a bear witness to the genuineness of our love.
— Saint John of Avila (1500 – 1569)
All but God…
I would urge you to cast out of your heart all but God.
–Saint John of Ávila (1500-1569)
Seek Jesus…
If, however, you seek Jesus in all things, you will surely find Him.
— Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
