The quieter the mind…
The quieter the mind, the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Where there is…
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
A moment of time…
We live inside a tiny moment of time. All of our time, compared with eternity, is nothing. It is a serious waste to let a day go by without allowing God to change us.
–Richard Rolle (c. 1300-1349)
Jesus will never let us…
A mother may sometimes let her child fall and suffer in various ways, so that it may learn by its mistakes. But she will never allow any real harm to come to the child because of her love. And though earthly mothers may not be able to prevent their children from dying, our heavenly mother Jesus will never let us, his children, see death. For he is all might, all wisdom, and all love. Blessed may he be!
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
Into the arms of God…
Let us throw ourselves into the arms of God, and be sure that if He wishes anything of us, He will make us good for all He desires us to do for Him.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
The Divine Will…
To be entirely conformed and resigned to the Divine Will, is truly a road in which we cannot get wrong, and is the only road which leads us to taste and enjoy that peace which sensual and earthly men know nothing of.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
