The awe-inspiring kindness and encouragement of the Holy Spirit, our ever-present Lord, strengthens us daily and prepares us to receive our divine reward for every hardship we’ve lived through, and these rewards will surely surpass anything we’ve ever dreamt or imagined.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Our good Lord, the Holy Spirit — endless life dwelling in our souls — always protects us and gives us peace. Through grace, God’s Spirit brings each soul to tranquility and makes it obedient and reconciles it to God. Our good Lord constantly leads us on this path of mercy while we’re in this unpredictable life.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
He will provide the way and the means, such as you could never have imagined. Leave it all to Him, let go of yourself, lose yourself on the Cross, and you will find yourself entirely.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Grace will move you only when you want it to move you, and only when you let it move you. The supernatural order supposes the freedom of the natural order, but it does not destroy it.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
God does not require of us more than we can deliver… He will not push you beyond your strength and capacity… We do our part and God does the rest. He will bless us with his grace and allow us to accomplish wonderful things we can’t even imagine.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)
The Spirit raises our hearts to Heaven, guides the steps of the weak, and brings to perfection those who are making progress. He enlightens those who have been cleansed from every stain of sin and makes them spiritual by communion with himself.
–Saint Basil the Great (330-379)
