A peaceful heart…
God wants nothing from you but the gift of a peaceful heart.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Love is shown…
Love is shown more in deeds than in words.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
God is everywhere…
Your surroundings don’t matter. God is with you everywhere.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Christ is risen…
Today is the day of salvation for the world. . . Christ is risen from the dead: arise with him. Christ returns to himself: you also must return to him. Christ has come forth from the tomb: free yourselves from the fetters of evil. The gates of hell are open and the power of death is destroyed. The old Adam is superseded, the new perfected. In Christ a new creation is coming to birth: renew yourselves.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
A Christian cannot…
As a fish cannot swim without water, and as a bird cannot fly without air, so a Christian cannot advance a single step without Christ.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
Patient in listening…
We should be slow to speak and patient in listening to all men, but especially to inferiors. Our ears should be wide open to our neighbor until he seems to have said all that is in his mind.
— Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
