For the man who is kindly, modest, merciful and just will not keep his good works to himself but will see to it that these admirable fountains send out their streams for the good of others.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Imagine your anger…
Imagine your anger to be a kind of wild beast, because it has ferocious teeth and claws, and if you don’t tame it, it will devastate all things even corrupting the soul.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Affliction was allowed…
Affliction was allowed to make those afflicted more careful and more pious.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Listen in silence…
Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
In small things…
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
The purpose of guilt…
The purpose of guilt is to bring us to the Lord, after that it has no purpose.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
