To know God…
To believe in a God is one thing, to know God another.
–Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938)
A little host…
Heaven for me is hidden in a little Host Where Jesus, my Spouse, is veiled for love. I go to that Divine Furnace to draw out life, And there my Sweet Savior listens to me night and day.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Before the Tabernacle…
Kneeling before the tabernacle, I can think of only one thing to say to our Lord: ‘My God, you know that I love You.’ And I feel that my prayer does not weary Jesus; knowing my weakness, He is satisfied with my good will.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897
Communion must be continuous…
The only cure for sagging or fainting faith is Communion. Though always Itself, perfect and complete and inviolate, the Blessed Sacrament does not operate completely and once for all in any of us. Like the act of Faith it must be continuous and grow by exercise. Frequency is of the highest effect. Seven times a week is more nourishing than seven times at intervals.
–JRR Tolkien (1892-1973)
Baptism and Holy Eucharist…
As a man must be born before he can begin to lead his physical life, so he must be born to lead a Divine Life. That birth occurs in the Sacrament of Baptism. To survive, he must be nourished by Divine Life; that is done in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
God grants graces…
The Lord God grants His graces in two ways: by inspiration and by enlightenment. If we ask God for a grace, He will give it to us; but let us be willing to accept it. And in order to accept it, self denial is needed. Love does not consist in words or feelings, but in deeds… Jesus in me makes up for all my deficiencies. His grace operates without ceasing.
–Saint Faustina (1905-1938)
