Do not doubt the mercy of God…
Do not doubt, do not hesitate, never despair of the mercy of God.
— Saint Isidore of Seville (c. 560-636)
Living in the present…
Living in the present means squarely accepting and responding to it as God’s moment for you now while it is called “today” rather than wishing it were yesterday or tomorrow.
— Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941)
We are dying…
Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
–Blessed Pope Paul VI (1897-1978)
Only in the present…
Whoever lives in the past is as if dead. Whoever lives in the future in his fantasy (or imagination) is naive, because the future belongs only to God. The Joy of Christ is found only in the present, in the Eternal Present of God.
— Gabriela Papayannis (1897-1992)
Do what Christ commanded…
How can a man say he believes in Christ if he doesn’t do what Christ commanded him to do?
— Saint Cyprian of Carthage (c. 200-258)
Faith through obedience…
He who relies on theoretical knowledge alone is not yet a faithful servant: a faithful servant is one who expresses his faith in Christ through obedience to His commandments.
— Saint Mark the Ascetic (Fifth Century)
