A good thing…
It’s a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet, and what is sand.
–Madeline L’Engle (1918-2007)
Addicted to anger…
All the days of their life, persons addicted to anger are unhappy, because they are always in a tempest.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
Freedom from anger…
The first step towards freedom from anger is to keep the lips silent when the heart is stirred; the next, to keep thoughts silent when the soul is upset; the last, to be totally calm when unclean winds are blowing.
–Saint John Climacus (c. 525-606)
Those who cannot…
Those who cannot see Christ in their neighbor are atheists indeed.
–Dorothy Day (1897–1980)
It is better…
It is better to be cheated into giving too much then to lose one’s soul by giving too little.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
It is essential…
It is essential to read and meditate on the scriptures. Christianity without the Bible is a contradiction in terms. Preaching not anchored in the scriptures is equally impossible. There is no true religious formation which is not based on the Gospel.
–Carlo Carretto (1910-1988)
