Be bold. Be Catholic…
Be bold. Be Catholic. When the Catholic faith is actually lived it is incredible potent.
–Matthew Kelly (1973-
Distractions are normal…
Distractions are one of the more common difficulties in prayer. They are absolutely normal and should neither surprise nor sadden us. When we realize that we have become distracted from our prayer and our thoughts are wandering, rather than getting discouraged or angry, we should simply, peacefully and gently bring our minds back to God.
–Jacques Philippe (1947-
Meditation on Scripture…
Meditation on Scripture is the foundation of any authentic Christian prayer life. God speaks to us and awakens a response from us through meditation. Here is how dialogue in prayer begins.
–Jacques Philippe (1947-
Prayer becomes more simple…
Normally, too, prayer becomes more simple the further we progress in the spiritual life.
–Jacques Philippe (1947-
Faith is the door…
Faith is the door to the full inner life of the Church, a life which includes not only access to an authoritative teaching but above all to a deep personal experience which is at once unique and yet shared by the whole Body of Christ, in the Spirit of Christ.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
God never leaves us…
God, Who is everywhere, never leaves us. Yet He seems sometimes to be present, sometimes to be absent. If we do not know Him well, we do not realize that He may be more present to us when He is absent than when He is present.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
