This is the nature of love: to the extent that we distance ourselves from the center of the circle and do not love God, we distance ourselves from our neighbor; but if we love God, then the nearer we draw to him in love, the more we are united with our neighbor in love.
— Saint Dorotheus of Gaza (Sixth Century)
Faith without love…
As memory of fire does not warm the body, so faith without love does not produce the light of knowledge in the soul.
— Saint Maximos the Confessor (580-662)
Thanks and yes…
To everything that has been – Thanks.
For everything that will be – Yes.
— Dag Hammarskjold (1905-1961)
My prayer is thanksgiving
The greatest part of my prayer here and for years now is giving thanks. What else should I ask, when I have everything?
— Gabriela Papayannis (1897-1992)
Tire of thanking…
For if God does not for a moment tire of giving us good things, how can we tire of thanking Him for these good things?
— Saint Nicholas Velimirovic (1880-1956)
Thank God for…
Do not forget to thank God for his many blessings.
— Saint John Baptiste de la Salle (1651-1719)
