Respond to God…
Before all else, the Gospel invites us to respond to the God of love who saves us, to see God in others and to go forth from ourselves to seek the good of others.
–Pope Francis (1936-
Everyone must do…
Everyone — whether kings, nobles, tradesmen, or peasants — must do all things for the glory of God and under the inspiration of Christ’s example.
–Saint Francis Borgia (1510-1572)
Asking for love…
So, since Christ died for us, out of love, it follows that when we offer the sacrifice in commemoration of his death, we are asking for love to be given us by the coming of the Holy Spirit. We beg and we pray that just as through love Christ deigned to be crucified for us, so we may receive the grace of the Holy Spirit; and that by that grace the world should be a dead thing in our eyes and we should be dead to the world, crucified and dead.
–Saint Fulgentius of Ruspe (Fifth — Sixth Century)
Life-giving prayer…
Perfume all your actions with the life-giving breath of prayer.
–Pope John XXIII (1881-1963)
In everything, ask…
In everything, ask yourself only what the Master would have done, and do that.
–Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916)
Our Lord wills…
Our Lord wills that you cling to Him alone! If your faith were greater how much more peaceful you would be even when great trials surround and oppress you.
–Saint Paola Frassinetti (1809-1892)
