Love Jesus and win souls…
There is one thing only to do here below: to love Jesus, to win souls for Him so that He may be loved.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
When we read, God…
When we pray we speak to God; but when we read, God speaks to us.

Never let it rest…
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. ‘Til your good is better and your better is best.
— Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
If we go with God…
If we will go with God upon the highway of love, we shall rest with Him eternally and without end: and thus we shall eternally go forth towards God and enter into Him and rest in Him.
–Blessed John Ruysbroeck (1293-1381)
Every day we are dying…
Every day we are changing, every day we are dying, and yet we fancy ourselves eternal.
— Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
Remedy for dryness…
The best remedy for dryness of spirit, is to picture ourselves as beggars in the presence of God and the Saints, and like a beggar, to go first to one saint, then to another, to ask a spiritual alms of them with the same earnestness as a poor fellow in the streets would ask an alms of us.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
