Jesus won me over…
He won me over entirely by giving Himself entirely to me.
— Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
God is good…
God is not accustomed to refusing a good gift to those who ask for one. Since God is good, and especially to those who are faithful to him, let us hold fast to him with all our soul, our heart, our strength, and so enjoy his light and see his glory and possess the grace of supernatural joy.
— Saint Ambrose of Milan (339-397)
In times of affliction…
In times of affliction, unceasingly call out to the merciful God in prayer. The unceasing invocation of the name of God in prayer is a treatment for the soul which kills not only the passions, but even their very operation. As a doctor finds the necessary medicine, and it works in such a way that the sick person does not understand, in just the same way the name of God, when you call upon it, kills all the passions, although we don’t know how this happens.
— Saint Barsanuphius the Great (Sixth Century)
Make you a saint…
Ask Jesus to make you a saint. After all, only He can do that. Go to confession regularly and to Communion as often as you can.
— Saint Dominic Savio (1842-I857)
Have to be willing…
You don’t have to be worthy; you only have to be willing.
— Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Tire of thanking…
For if God does not for a moment tire of giving us good things, how can we tire of thanking Him for these good things?
— Saint Nicholas Velimirovic (1880-1956)
