Building bridges…
A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.
–Pope Francis (1936
Life full of brokenness…
Our life is full of brokenness – broken relationships, broken promises, broken expectations. How can we live with that brokenness without becoming bitter and resentful except by returning again and again to God’s faithful presence in our lives.
–Henri Nouwen (1932–1996)
Never address…
Never address your words to God while you are thinking of something else.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Strive to know God…
We shall never completely know ourselves if we don’t strive to know God.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Our Lord wills…
Our Lord wills that you cling to Him alone! If your faith were greater how much more peaceful you would be even when great trials surround and oppress you.
–Saint Paola Frassinetti (1809-1892)
Most Important…
The most important thing in the life of every man and every woman is not that they should never fall along the way. The important thing is always to get back up, not to stay on the ground licking your wounds.
–Pope Francis (1936-
