More works than words…
God is no blind moneychanger; he values love’s works more than its words.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Good Friday, Easter Sunday…
Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Listening to God…
God has things to tell us which will enlighten us — we must wait for Him to speak. No one would rush into a physicians office, rattle off all the symptoms, and dash away without waiting for a diagnosis. It is every bit as stupid to ring God’s bell and then run away. The Lord hears us more readily than we suspect; it is our listening to Him that needs to be improved.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Love the darkness…
I have come to love the darkness – for I believe now that it is part, a very small part of Jesus’ darkness and pain on earth.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
The greatest suffering…
As far as I am concerned, the greatest suffering is to feel alone, unwanted, unloved. The greatest suffering is also having no one, forgetting what an intimate, truly human relationship is, not knowing what it means to be loved, not having a family or friends.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Silence with God…
We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God… not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything, to dwell lovingly in God’s presence – silent, empty, expectant, and motionless.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
