Begin again to pray…
There is no other remedy for this evil of giving up prayer than to begin again.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
To serve God…
Practice spiritual reading and prayer; go to confession and Holy Communion; and let the one object of your life be to serve God and to bear with things contrary to your will. Be most tender in your love for God and your neighbor; act in as charitable away as possible to others, and be firm as a rock in bearing the trials sent you by Divine Providence.
— Saint John of Avila (1500 – 1569)
The Holy Scriptures…
A pure mind is to be gained by exercise in the Holy Scriptures.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
To obey God…
What matters most is a good and ready will to obey God.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
Rid yourself of…
Rid yourself of anything that is not directed toward God.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
The Lord leads…
The Lord leads a person out of himself into himself.
— Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
