The soul that walks…
The soul that walks in love neither tires others nor grows tired.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
We will see Jesus…
If we approach with faith, we too will see Jesus… for the Eucharistic table takes the place of the crib. Here the Body of the Lord is present, wrapped not in swaddling clothes but in the rays of the Holy Spirit.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
This is that grace…
It is not that we keep His commandments first, and that then He
loves; but that He loves us, and then we keep His commandments. This is that grace, which is revealed to the humble, but hidden from the proud.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
We waste our lives…
What a pity it is that, through we are on earth simply to prepare for Heaven, we hardly ever speak of it. How we waste our life and our energies!
–Saint Raphael Kalinowski (1835-1907)
Leave the rest to God…
Do all you can with the means at your disposal and calmly leave the rest to God.
–Saint Mary MacKillop (1842-1909)
Do everything for God…
Do everything calmly and peacefully. Do as much as you can as well as you can. Strive to see God in all things without exception, and consent to His will joyously. Do everything for God, uniting yourself to him in word and deed. Walk very simply with the Cross of the Lord and be at peace with yourself.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
