Love makes saints…
For it does not require much time to make us saints; it requires only much love.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Don’t call me a saint…
Don’t call me a saint. I don’t want to be dismissed so easily.
–Dorothy Day (1897-1980)
Prayers of saints…
The prayers of the Saints in heaven and of the just on earth are a perfume which never will be lost.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Live for Christ…
They no longer live their life, but the life of Christ; they no longer suffer their own pain, but rather, the passion of Christ. Therefore they also rejoice in the life of grace that the Lord enkindles in other souls when the spark of divine love touches them and the wine of this love causes in them holy inebriation.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
Pray also in joy and abundance…
You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
–Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)
During painful times…
During painful times, when you feel a terrible void, think how the capacity of your soul is being enlarged so that it can receive God– becoming as it were, infinite as God is infinite.
–Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906)
