An unwilling listener…
No one cares to speak to an unwilling listener. An arrow never lodges in a stone: often it recoils upon the sender of it.
–Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
Love with which we do them…
You know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Never get discouraged…
I am not always faithful, but I never get discouraged. I abandon myself into the arms of Jesus and there I find again all that I have lost and much more besides.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Everything is a grace…
Everything is a grace, everything is the direct effect of our Father’s love – difficulties, contradictions, humiliations, all the soul’s miseries, her burdens, her needs – everything, because through them, she learns humility, realizes her weakness. Everything is a grace because everything is God’s gift. Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events – to the heart that loves, all is well.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Make room in our life…
Sacred Scriptures and…
I feel that there is no healthier nor more nourishing spiritual fare than the Sacred Scriptures and the Fathers [of the Church].
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
