A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love.
–Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Joy is prayer – Joy is strength – Joy is love – Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. God loves a cheerful giver. She gives most who gives with joy. The best way to show our gratitude to God and the people is to accept everything with joy. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love. Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen.
–Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
One with a spirit of joy preaches without preaching.
–Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Holiness is a disposition of the heart that makes us humble and little in the arms of God, aware of our weakness, and confident — in the most audacious way — in His Fatherly goodness.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Life is passing, Eternity draws nigh: soon shall we live the very life of God. After having drunk deep at the fount of bitterness, our thirst will be quenched at the very source of all sweetness.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
