The soul ought to obey…
As the wax which we place near the fire assumes any form we wish to give it, so the loving soul ought to obey as soon as her Beloved has spoken.
–Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775)
Your eternal salvation…
If your eternal salvation depended on yourself alone, you would have serious cause for alarm, but since it is in the hands of your heavenly Father, what have you to fear? My hopes rest on the Passion of Jesus and on the dolors of Mary.
–Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775)
Let creation draw you to God…
Let everything in creation draw you to God. Refresh your mind with some innocent recreation and needful rest, if it were only to saunter through the garden or the fields, listening to the sermon preached by the flowers, the trees, the meadows, the sun, the sky, and the whole universe. You will find that they exhort you to love and praise God; that they excite you to extol the greatness of the Sovereign Architect Who has given them their being.
–Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775)
One who trusts God…
He who trusts himself is lost. He who trusts God can do all things.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
The Blessed Sacrament…
Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest after the sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most helpful to us.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
Preserve some attachment…
Many, however, gives themselves to God, but preserve still in their hearts some attachment to creatures, which prevents them from belonging entirely to God.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
