Contemplation by action…
We ascend to the heights of contemplation by the steps of action.
–Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
The scriptures grow…
The sacred Scriptures grow with the one who reads them.
–Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
The heart of God…
Learn the heart of God from the word of God.
— Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
We must not count…
We must not count on ourselves, because even if we know what kind of person we are today, we do not know what we will be tomorrow.
— Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
The heart is…
What is God’s altar if not the soul of those who lead good lives? Rightly then, the heart of the just is said to be the altar of God.
— Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
No matter what obstacles..
Let us stir up our hearts, rekindle our faith, and long eagerly for what heaven has in store for us. To love thus is to be already on our way. No matter what obstacles we encounter, we must not allow them to turn us aside from the joy of that heavenly feast. Anyone who is determined to reach his destination, is not deterred by the roughness of the road that leads to it.
–Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
