Temple of God…
Remember that our soul is the temple of God, and as such, we must keep it pure and spotless before God and His angels.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Always in the presence of God…
Consider that we are always in the presence of God to whom we have to give account for our every action, both good and bad.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Why should you worry…
Why should you worry whether God wants you to reach the heavenly home by way of the desert or by the fields, when by the one as well as by the other one arrives all the same at a Blessed Eternity? Keep far from you excessive preoccupation which arises from the trials which the good God wishes to visit upon you.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Radiate God’s love…
Each time people come into contact with us, they must become different and better people because of having met us. We must radiate God’s love.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Overwhelmed by God’s generosity…
Someone filled with resentment and unhappiness, bitter that life is not as it should be, will be deeply disillusioned. On the other hand, people who are glad for what they have received, and thank God for what befalls them will receive still more, until finally being overwhelmed by God’s generosity.
–Jacques Philippe (1947-
Happy is the spirit…
Happy is the spirit that attains to the perfect formlessness at the time of prayer. Happy is the spirit which, praying with distraction, goes on increasing its desire for God. Happy is the spirit that becomes free of all matter and is stripped of all at the time of prayer. Happy is the spirit that attains to complete unconsciousness of all sensible experience at the time of prayer.
–Evagrius Ponticus (345-399)
