The measure of your love…
You are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
By humble and faithful prayer…
By humble and faithful prayer, the soul acquires, with time and perseverance, every virtue.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
A perfect soul…
Behold the true sign of a totally perfect soul: when one has reached the point of giving up his will so completely that he no longer seeks, expects or desires to do ought but that which God wills.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
When God loves…
For when God loves, all He desires is to be loved in return. The sole purpose of His love is to be loved, in the knowledge that those who love Him are made happy by their love of Him.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
A person who prays carelessly…
A person who prays carelessly, and still expects his prayers to be heard, is likened to a man who pours into the mill bad grain, and expects to receive good flour in return.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
All must be saints…
All of us must be saints in this world. Holiness is a duty for you and me. So let’s be saints and so give glory to the Father.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
