Grace to suffer…
Ask God for grace to suffer much. To whom God gives this he gives a great gift: all his other benefits are included in this single one.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
God’s goodness…
God’s supreme goodness, mighty love, and fatherly care are more ready freely to bestow perfection on us than we are to seek it out.
— Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Follow the way of the cross…
You must follow him along the way of the cross, choosing to be crucified in his way, not yours.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
The soul is in God and…
The soul is in God and God in the soul, just as the fish is in the sea and the sea in the fish.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)

The humility that does not produce generosity is undoubtedly false, for true humility, after it has said, ‘I can do nothing; I am only absolute nothingness,’ suddenly gives place to generosity of spirit, which says, ‘There is nothing and there can be nothing that I am unable to do, so long as I put all my confidence in God, who can do all things.’ And so, buoyed up by this confidence, it courageously undertakes to do all that is commanded.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
God can work through anyone…
I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
