Love creates…
Love creates a likeness between that which loves and that which is loved.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Deny your desires…
Deny your desires and you will find what your heart longs for.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
The adversities of this world…
See that you are not suddenly saddened by the adversities of this world, for you do not know the good they bring, being ordained in the judgments of God for the everlasting joy of the elect.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Who does best…
He does much in the sight of God who does his best, be it ever so little.
–Saint Peter of Alcantara (1499-1562)
When we say, “Hallowed be…”
We say “Hallowed be Your name” not that we wish for God that He may be hallowed by our prayers, but that we beseech of Him that His name may be hallowed in us.
–Saint Cyprian of Carthage (c. 200-258)
We are so loved by God…
For we are so preciously loved by God that we cannot even comprehend it. No created being can ever know how much and how sweetly and tenderly God loves them. It is only with the help of his grace that we are able to persevere in spiritual contemplation with endless wonder at his high, surpassing, immeasurable love which our Lord in his goodness has for us.
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
