God grant us pardon…
The good God is as prompt to grant us pardon when we ask it of Him, as a mother is to snatch her children out of the fire.
— Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
A living faith…
A living faith is nothing else than a steadfast pursuit of God through all that disguises, disfigures, demolishes and seeks, so to speak, to abolish him.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)
Any distractions…
If you have never had any distractions you don’t know how to pray.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
Be all alive…
If a man is to live, he must be all alive, body, soul, mind, heart, spirit.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
We cannot achieve…
We cannot achieve greatness unless we lose all interest in being great.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
What do you have to fear…
What do you have to fear? Nothing. Whom do you have to fear? No one. Why? Because whoever has joined forces with God obtains three great privileges: omnipotence without power, intoxication without wine, and life without death.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
