A peaceful heart…
God wants nothing from you but the gift of a peaceful heart.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Love is shown…
Love is shown more in deeds than in words.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Choose God…
Only He is worth struggling towards. We have a choice to follow the way the world, of the society that surrounds us, and thereby find ourselves outside of God; or to choose the way of life, to choose God Who calls us and for Whom our heart is searching.
–Blessed Seraphim of Platina (1934-1982)
To serve God or not…
It is within my power either to serve God or not to serve Him. Serving Him, I add to my own good and the good of the whole world. Not serving Him, I forfeit my own good and deprive the world of that good, which was in my power to create.
–Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)
The choice is yours…
The choice is yours! Love the world and you will perish with the world. Love Christ and you will reign with him (forever)!
–Richard Rolle (c. 1300-1349)
Just as Martha complained…
Just as Martha complained about her sister Mary, in the same way, even to this day, all actives complain about contemplatives.
–Cloud of Unknowing (Fourteenth Century)
