If you would know whether you have made a good confession, ask yourself if you have resolved to abandon your sins.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
What is essential is not what we say but what God tells us and what He tells others through us. In silence He listens to us; in silence He speaks to our souls. In silence we are granted the privilege of listening to His voice.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
The proud man counts his newspaper clippings; the humble, his blessings.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Silence is the root of our union with God and with one another. In silence we are filled with the energy of God Himself that makes us do all things in joy. The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Saints are only sinners who keep trying.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
