Anxiety is an evil…
Anxiety is the greatest evil that can befall a soul, except sin. God commands you to pray, but He forbids you to worry.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
The Eucharistic bread…
When we see that Savior before our eyes of faith as the Scriptures portray him, then our desire to receive him in the bread of life increases. The eucharistic bread, on the other hand, awakens our desire to get to know the Lord in the written word more and more deeply and strengthens our spirit to get a better understanding.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
Supernatural union exists…
The supernatural union exists when God’s will and the soul’s are in conformity, so that nothing in the one is repugnant to the other.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
Prolonged purification…
The higher the degree of union of love to which God desires to lead them, the more intense and prolonged will the purification be.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
It is God’s way…
God is more anxious to bestow His blessings on us than we are to receive them. For it is not God’s way that great blessings should descend without the sacrifice first of great sufferings.
— Saint Augustine (354-430)
True Church of Christ…
Do you wish to know which is the true church of Christ? Count those priests who, in a regular succession have succeeded Saint Peter, who is the Rock, which the gates of hell will not prevail.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
