Too many children?
How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
In loving and serving…
In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Living each present day…
Living intensely each present day means letting Christ dwell within you. His words are so clear: Today I would like to enter your home.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
The joy of Jesus…
The joy of Jesus will be my strength – it will be in my heart. Every person I meet will see it in my work; my walk, my prayer – in everything.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Fortitude and perseverance…
And although many conflicts of diverse kinds should abound in prayer, and darkness of mind with much confusion, the devil making the soul feel that her prayer was not pleasing to God, nevertheless, she ought not to give up on account of those conflicts and shadows, but to abide firm in fortitude and long perseverance, considering that the devil so does to draw her away from prayer the mother, and God permits it to test the fortitude and constancy of that soul.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
How God wants our soul to be…
You know…that to join two things together there must be nothing between them or there cannot be a perfect fusion. Now realize that this is how God wants our soul to be, without any selfish love of ourselves or of others in between, just as God loves us without anything in between.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
