Believe in His Love….
Believe that He loves you. He wants to help you Himself in the struggles which you must undergo. Believe in His Love, His exceeding Love.
–Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906)
Charity is the bond…
Charity is the sweet and holy bond which links the soul with its Creator: it binds God with man and man with God.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
God loves us more…
God loves us more than a father, mother, friend, or any else could love, and even more than we are able to love ourselves.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
They don’t rightly love God…
Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love their cow – for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
We will be judged…
At the end of life we will be judged on how much we have loved.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Three kinds of love…
Three kinds of love: 1. the soul now loves God, not through itself but through Himself. 2. the soul is absorbed in the love of God and God surrenders Himself to the soul with great vehemence. 3. the soul loves Him for Who He is.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
