In times of difficulty or sadness, in times of suffering, if you frequently call to mind that God is in you to give you his love, you will not be alone, you will find the Guest within you, and he will answer you.
–Charles Journet (1891–1975)
Humility always has a good cry and then forgets petty insults. Remember this. If you want to conquer the devil, arm yourself with humility.
–Saint Hildegarde of Bingen (1098-1179)
[God] didn’t attach salvation to knowledge or intelligence or wealth, nor to long experience or rare gifts that are not given to all. He attached it to something within the reach of everyone, absolutely everyone. Jesus attaches salvation to humility, to the act of making yourself little. That is all it takes to win heaven.
–Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858–1916)
Little, be very little, be very little before God.
–Saint Jeanne Jugan (1792-1879)
Extend mercy towards others, so that there can be no one in need whom you meet without helping. For what hope is there for us if God should withdraw his mercy from us?
–Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660)
Today God invited you to do good; do it therefore today. Tomorrow you may not have time, or God may no longer call you to do it.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
