The present moment…
The present moment always reveals the presence and the power of God.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)
Let our compassion…
Ever let mercy outweigh all else in you. Let our compassion be a mirror where we may see in ourselves that likeness and that true image which belong to the Divine nature and Divine essence. A heart hard and unmerciful will never be pure.
— Saint Isaac of Syria (Seventh Century)
The commandments are…
The commandments of God are greater than all the treasures of the world, and for whoever keeps them, God is found within them.
— Saint Isaac of Syria (Seventh Century)

— Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)

True patience is to suffer the wrongs done to us by others in an unruffled spirit and without feeling resentment. Patience bears with others because it loves them; to bear with them and yet to hate them is not the virtue of patience but a smokescreen for anger.
— Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
