God will not save us…
He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.
— Saint Augustine (354-430)
God is in every person…
God made everything that is made, and God loves everything that he made. The person who loves everything and everyone God made, loves God because God is in every person. God is in all things. The person who loves everything loves as God loves.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Pray even if…
Pray, even if you feel nothing, see nothing. For when you are dry, empty, sick or weak, at such a time is your prayer most pleasing to God, even though you may find little joy in it. This is true of all believing prayer. — Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Prayer is the
Prayer is the deliberate and persevering action of the soul. It is true and enduring, and full of grace. Prayer fastens the soul to God and makes it one with his will, through the deep and wide working of the Holy Spirit.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Unanswered prayers….
Sometimes it seems that we have been praying a long time and still do not have what we ask. But we should not be sad. I am sure that what our Lord means is that either we should wait for a better time, or more grace, or a better gift.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Understand two thoughts…
Understand two thoughts, and fear them. One says, “You are a saint,” the other, “You won’t be saved.” Both of these thoughts are from the enemy, and there is no truth in them. But think this way: I am a great sinner, but the Lord is merciful. He loves people very much, and He will forgive my sins.
— Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938)
