Never tire of praying…
Be souls of prayer. Never tire of praying, it is what is essential. Prayer shakes the Heart of God, it obtains necessary graces!
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Open your heart wide..
It is the Lord who works within you, and you must do nothing except leave the door of your heart wide open so that he might work as he pleases.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Will we be alive tomorrow?
Who can assure us that we will be alive tomorrow? Let us listen to the voice of our conscience, to the voice of the royal prophet: “Today, if you hear God’s voice, harden not your heart.” Let us not put off from one moment to another (what we should do) because the (next moment) is not yet ours.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Quench our thirst…
Let us therefore, love to quench our thirst at this fountain of living water and go forward all the time along the way of divine love. But let us also be convinced that our souls will never be satisfied here below. In fact it would be disastrous for us if, at a certain stage of our journey, we were to feel satisfied, for it would be a sign that we thought we had reached our goal, and in this we would be deceived.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Baloney and blarney…
Baloney is flattery laid on so thick it cannot be true, and blarney is flattery so thin we love it.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplation…
In vocal prayer we go to God on foot. In meditation we go to God on horseback. In contemplation we go to God in a jet.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
