In everything, ask…
In everything, ask yourself only what the Master would have done, and do that.
–Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916)
Pray by enduring…
You adore Him better by your silence them by your speeches. If you are incapable of anything whatever, then suffer. If you cannot pray by effort, then you will pray by endurance.
–Saint Jane Francis de Chantal (1572-1641)
Prayer repairs…
Prayer is the means by which we can repair all that is broken.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582
Weariness of spirit…
If anyone of you be for a time cast down with weariness of spirit or afflicted with aridity of heart so that the torrent of devoted love seem to be dried up…. realize the Lord’s way. For a time, He will draw away from you that you may seek Him with greater ardor and, having sought, may find Him with greater joy and, having found, may hold Him with greater love and having held, may never let Him go.
–Blessed Jordan of Saxony (c. 1190-1237)
Envy is madness…
It is madness for a Christian to be envious. In Christ we have all received infinitely great blessings.
–Saint John of Kronstadt (1829-1908)
Approaching God…
The closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
