Practice sweet silence…
If you do not practice sweet silence, it is impossible to taste the things of God.
–Saint Mary Magdalen de Pazzi (1566-1607)
Be cheerful…
Be cheerful! Jesus will take care of everything. Let us pay no attention to people who do not know what they are talking about. Let us trust in Jesus and our heavenly Mother, and everything will work out well.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Praise of the Mother praises the Son…
Let us not imagine that we obscure the glory of the Son by the great praise we lavish on the Mother; for the more she is honored, the greater is the glory of her Son. There can be no doubt that whatever we say in praise of the Mother gives equal praise to the Son.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
Love of Mary…
Love of Mary and devotion to her are a sure sign of obtaining eternal salvation.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
The main battle in prayer is…
It should be clear by now that the main battle in mental prayer is perseverance. God will give us the grace to persevere if we ask him for it trustingly and are firmly resolved to do whatever is up to us.
–Jacques Philippe (1947-
The life of prayer…
If the life of prayer is not a technique to be mastered but a grace to be received, a gift from God, then talk about prayer should not focus on describing methods or giving instructions, but on explaining the necessary conditions for receiving the gift.
–Jacques Philippe (1947-
