Fretting instead of…
It is such folly to pass one’s time fretting, instead of resting quietly on the heart of Jesus.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Become conscious…
Before we can become who we really are, we must become conscious of the fact that the person who we think we are, here and now, is at best an impostor and a stranger.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
As God sees fit…
God is both light and darkness to each one as he sees fit. If he is darkness to you, seek nothing else.
–Saint Jane Frances de Chantal (1572-1641)
Take them with gratitude…
When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.
— GK Chesterton (1874-1936)
The secret of happiness…
The secret of happiness is to live moment by moment and to thank God for all that He, in His goodness, sends to us day after day.
–Saint Gianna Molla (1922-1962)
Everything comes from God…
God is very pleased with those who recognize his goodness by reciting the Te Deum in thanksgiving whenever something out of the ordinary happens, without caring whether it may have been good or bad, as the world reckons these things. Because everything comes from the hands of our Father: so though the blow of the chisel may hurt our flesh, it is a sign of Love, as he smooths off our rough edges and brings us closer to perfection.
–Saint Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975)
