Live as the Blessed Virgin lived….
Let us live as the Blessed Virgin lived: loving God only, desiring God only, trying to please God only in all that we do.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)

You must follow him along the way of the cross, choosing to be crucified in his way, not yours.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
About this journey…
That is the wonderful thing about this journey: one is given more than one ever asks or even dreams of desiring. This is absolutely certain; I know it to be true.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)

We must detach ourselves from all, for the all who is Jesus Christ, and we must trust him alone.
–Saint John of God (1495-1550)
Shaped by generosity…
Growing in the virtue of generosity is a disposition of the heart to give spontaneously of oneself, to reach out to others in love and concern, and to seek the good in others. A generous heart does not measure its response and it goes beyond what is expected or required or owed. A generous heart asks for nothing in return… The heart of a disciple is shaped by generosity.
–Gerald M. Fagin (1938-2012)
Our satisfaction lies in…
Our work is the love of God. Our satisfaction lies in submission to the divine embrace.
–Blessed John Ruysbroeck (1293-1381)
