To love God…
We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason; nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
Love God, then neighbor…
It is not possible to love your neighbor unless you love God. If you love God first, then you can love your neighbor in God… If we really love God, we will love what belongs to God. We will love in the same manner as we have been loved. We care about others even as Christ cared. We love the Lord not because he is good to us, but because the Lord is good.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
Grant the petitions…
If we can enter the church day and night and implore God to hear our prayers, how careful we should be to hear and grant the petitions of our neighbors in need.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
One thing matters…
Only one thing in life matters: Being found worthy of the Light of the World in the hour of his His visitation.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Like a cash register…
Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Without wondering…
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
