We must love God…
We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
We are humble
We are humble only in so far as we are obedient.
— Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
The measure of love…
The measure of love is love without measure.
— Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
In the service of God…
There is nothing small in the service of God.
— Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
God is good…
God is not accustomed to refusing a good gift to those who ask for one. Since God is good, and especially to those who are faithful to him, let us hold fast to him with all our soul, our heart, our strength, and so enjoy his light and see his glory and possess the grace of supernatural joy.
— Saint Ambrose of Milan (339-397)
You have asked amiss…
The reason why sometimes you have asked and not received, is because you have asked amiss, either inconsistently, or lightly, or because you have asked for what was not good for you, or because you have ceased asking.
— Saint Basil the Great (330-379)
