To remember God…
Make the habit to remember God, not only during your prayers, but at every hour and minute of the day, for He is everywhere present.
— Saint Theophan the Recluse (1815-1894)
Remember who you…
Remember who you are and whose you are.
— Sister Thea Bowman (1937-1990)
The Church is…
The Church is not an institution devised and built at table, but a living reality. She lives along the course of time by transforming Herself, like any living being, yet Her nature remains the same. At Her heart is Christ.
— Roman Guardini (1885-1968)
Turn to the Lord…
Do not grow faint in spirit, and do not despond during times of trouble; but turn to the Lord with humble prayers, and believe that help will come to you.
— Saint Moses of Optina (1782-1862)
Silence and emptiness…
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
If you are humble…
If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
