Complete abstinence…
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Desire in prayer…
God wills that our desire should be exercised in prayer, that we may be able to receive what He is prepared to give.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Always be prepared…
That God has promised you pardon when you amend your life, I cannot deny. But tell me, pray: I agree and I grant you and I know that God has promised you forgiveness. But who has promised you tomorrow? Where you read that you will receive forgiveness, when you do penance, read for me also how much longer you have to live. It is not there, you say. Therefore you do not know how long more you have to live. Then reform your life, and be always prepared.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
For better things…
Our Lord did not ask us to give up the things of earth, but to exchange them for better things.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Love people and use things…
You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
The Rosary is…
The Rosary is the best therapy for these distraught, unhappy, fearful, and frustrated souls, precisely because it involves the simultaneous use of three powers: the physical, the vocal, and the spiritual, and in that order.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
