First forget yourself…
You must first forget yourself, so that you can dedicate yourself to God and your neighbor.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Our emptiness and…
It is our emptiness and lowliness God needs, not our plenitude.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Abandonment always leads…
It is the nature of abandonment always to lead a mysterious life, and to receive great and miraculous gifts from God by means of the most ordinary things, things that may be natural, accidental, or that seem to happen by chance, and in which there seems no other agency than the ordinary course of the ways of the world, or of the elements.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)
Since God offers…
Since God offers to manage our affairs for us, let us once and for all hand them over to His infinite wisdom, in order to occupy ourselves only with Himself and what belongs to Him.
–Jean Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)
Abortion victims…
There are two victims in every abortion: a dead baby and a dead conscience.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Prayer is good…
Prayer and converse with God is a supreme good: it is a partnership and union with God. As the eyes of the body are enlightened when they see light, so our spirit, when it is intent on God, is illumined by his infinite light. I do not mean the prayer of outward observance but prayer from the heart, not confined to fixed times or periods but continuous throughout the day and night.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
