Of communion with…
Of communion with humans, God can never have enough.
–Mechthild of Magdeburg (Thirteenth Century)
God embraces the…
There is neither father nor mother nor son, nor any other person whatsoever, who can embrace the object beloved with so great a love as that wherewith God embraces the soul.
–Blessed Angela of Foligno (1248-1309)
Relying on mercy, continue in sin…
Some people understand the charity of our Lord and are saved by it; others, relying on this mercy and kindness, continue in their sins, thinking that it may be theirs whenever they wish. But this is not so, for then they are too late and are taken in their sins before they expect it, and so damn themselves.
–Walter Hilton (1340-1396)
In prayer…
In prayer, more is accomplished by listening than by talking. Let us leave to God the decisions as to what shall be said.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Providence of God…
So commit yourself confidently and without hesitation, all that you are, and everything else, individually and in general, to the unfailing and totally reliable providence of God, in silence and in peace, and he will fight for you. He will liberate you and comfort you more fully, more effectively and more satisfactorily than if you were to dream about it all the time, day and night, and were to cast around frantically all over the place with the futile and confused thoughts of your mind in bondage, nor will you wear out your mind and body, wasting your time, and stupidly and pointlessly exhausting your strength.
–Saint Albert the Great (c.1206-1280)
Everything comes from love…
Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
