Because of our good Lord’s tender love to all those who shall be saved, he quickly comforts them saying, “The cause of all this pain is sin. But all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.” These words were said so kindly and without a hint of blame. So how unjust it would be for me to blame God for allowing my sin when he does not blame me for falling into it.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
The love that God most high has for our soul is so great that it surpasses understanding. No created being can comprehend how much, how sweetly, and how tenderly our maker loves us. By his Grace and help therefore let us in spirit stand in awe and gaze, eternally marveling at the supreme, surpassing, single-minded, incalculable love that God, Who is all goodness, has for us.
— Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
No one is really happy merely because of having what they want, but only if they want things they ought to want.
— Saint Augustine (354-430)
We do not sin when we adore Christ in the Eucharist; we do sin when we do not adore Christ in the Eucharist.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
The Sacraments are the salvation of those who use them rightly, and the damnation of those who misuse them.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but he has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.
— Saint Augustine (354-430)
