The heart-to-heart….
Prayer, the heart-to-heart, must never end.
–Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880–1906)
Without prayer…
If the body has breath, it lives; if breathing stops, life comes to an end. So it is with the spirit. If there is prayer, the soul lives; without prayer, there is no spiritual life.
–Saint Theophan the Recluse (1815-1894)
Most pleasing sacrifice…
The sacrifice most pleasing to God is contrition of heart.
–Saint Eulogius of Cordova (c. 819-859)
The worst kind of sin…
The worst kind of sin is not to acknowledge that you are sinful.
–Saint Caesarius of Arles (460-552)
Cope with difficulties…
Let the soul be aware that, in order to pray and persevere in prayer, one must arm oneself with patience and cope bravely with exterior and interior difficulties. The interior difficulties are discouragement, dryness, heaviness of spirit and temptations. The exterior difficulties are human respect and time; one must create time set apart for prayer.
–Saint Faustina (1905-1938)
God is a living spring…
Pray with great confidence, with confidence based upon the goodness and infinite generosity of God and upon the promises of Jesus Christ. God is a spring of living water which flows unceasingly into the hearts of those who pray
–Saint Louis de Montfort (1673-1716)
