In spite of our poor choices and spiritual blindness in this life, our courteous Lord continues to love us. We will bring him the most pleasure if we rejoice with him and in him
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1432- c. 1420)
Just as a strongly flowing fountain is not blocked up by a handful of earth, so the compassion of the Creator is not overcome by the wickedness of his creatures.
–Saint Isaac of Syria (Seventh Century)
God works through people and situations both because of them and in spite of them.
–Daniel Burke (3/10/2017)
Let us never give in to pessimism, to that bitterness that the devil offers us every day. Do not give in to pessimism and discouragement. We have the firm certainty that the Holy Spirit gives the Church with His mighty breath, the courage to persevere and also to seek new methods of evangelization, to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
–Pope Francis (1936-
The good God does not need years to accomplish His work of love in a soul; one ray from His heart can, in an instant, make His flower bloom for eternity.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
It is the Lord who works within you, and you must do nothing except leave the door of your heart wide open so that he might work as he pleases.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
