One who receives Holy Communion…
As two pieces of wax fused together make one, so he who receives Holy Communion is so united with Christ that Christ is in him and he is in Christ.
–-Saint Cyril of Alexandria (378-444)
Touch the hearts…
To touch the hearts of your students is the greatest miracle you can perform.
–Saint John Baptist de la Salle (1651-1719)
The Word who is with us…
The Word who became all things for us is close to us, our Lord Jesus Christ who promises to remain with us always. He cries out, saying: ‘See, I am with you all the days of this age.’ He is himself the shepherd, the high priest, the way and the door, and has become all things at once for us.
–Saint Athanasius the Great (c. 296-373)
By humble, ordinary…
By humble, ordinary good works the love of God is nourished in many hearts.
— Walter Hilton (1340-1396)
Prayer is but a rising…
Prayer is naught but a rising desire of the heart into God by withdrawing of the heart from all earthly thoughts.
–Walter Hilton (1340-1396)
Silence must reign…
Silence must reign in our souls, and our passions must be calmed, if we are to hear the interior Master who speaks in a low voice as friend to friend. If we are habitually concerned with ourselves, how shall we taste the sweetness of the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Redemption, and the Eucharist?
–Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange (1877–1964)
