To trust God means that we must know that whatever comes to us comes from his hands. If we do not see that sorrow comes from his hand and cannot get the comfort of his love from it, it may be because we do not acknowledge our joys as his gifts.
–Caryll Houselander (1901-1954)
In this world, we have the task to be the lips of Christ, the heart of Christ, the prayer of Christ, because we have the Spirit of Christ.
–Jean-Marie Lustiger (1926–2007)
For the salvation of all of us in general, our Lord could not have given Himself more than He did on the Cross; and He cannot give Himself to each one of us in particular more than He has done in the Eucharist.
–Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange (1877–1964)
I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
In Communion, the Savior draws us and gives Himself, not only to humanity in general, but to each one of us if we wish it, and in an ever more intimate manner if we are faithful.
–Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange
Communion ought to incorporate us more and more into Christ, by increasing our humility, faith, confidence, and especially our charity, in order to make our hearts like to that of the Savior who died out of love for us.
— Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange OP (1877–1964)
