Fallacies do not…
Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.
–GK Chesterton (1874-1936)
Cast ourselves undeservedly…
When shall it be that we shall taste the sweetness of the Divine Will in all that happens to us, considering in everything only His good pleasure, by whom it is certain that adversity is sent with as much love as prosperity, and as much for our good? When shall we cast ourselves undeservedly into the arms of our most loving Father in Heaven, leaving to Him the care of ourselves and of our affairs, and reserving only the desire of pleasing Him, and of serving Him well in all that we can?
— Saint Jane Frances de Chantal (1572-1641)
I knew nothing…
I knew nothing; I was nothing. For this reason, God picked me out.
— Saint Catherine Laboure (1806-1876)
Hold fast to God…
Consider seriously how quickly people change, and how little trust is to be had in them; and hold fast to God, who does not change.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Live in harmony…
My last word to you, by which I implore you even with my blood, is that you live in harmony, united together, all of one heart and one will. Be bound to one another by the bond of charity, esteeming each other, helping each other, bearing with each other in Jesus Christ.
— Saint Angela Merici (1474-1540)
Union and concord…
See how important is this union and concord. So, long for it, pursue it, embrace it, and hold on to it with all your strength. For I tell you, living all together, thus united in heart, you will be like a mighty fortress, or a tower impregnable against all adversities, persecutions, and deceits of the devil.
— Saint Angela Merici (1474-1540)
