You are his secret dwelling…
You yourself are His dwelling and His secret chamber and hiding place.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)

I plead with you–never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.
–Saint John Paul (1920-2005)
If a Christian is not growing he is dead. There is no stagnation in Christ.
–Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Sursum corda, then; let us lift up our hearts and generously serve our great God and Our Lord Jesus in faith and pure love. Amen.
–Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775)
When we are spiritually free, we do not have to worry about what to say or do in unexpected, difficult circumstances. When we are not concerned about what others think of us or what we will get for what we do, the right words and actions will emerge from the center of our beings because the Spirit of God, who makes us children of God and sets us free, will speak and act through us.
–Henri Nouwen (1932–1996)
God has given different gifts for different people. There is no basis for feeling inferior to another who has a different gift. Once it is realized that we shall be judged by the gift we have received, rather than the gift we have not, one is completely delivered from a false sense of inferiority.
–Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
