Keep our eyes on Jesus Christ…
Let us keep our eyes on Jesus Christ to contemplate Him, our mouth employed to praise Him, our whole heart intent on nothing less than to please Him without limits.
–Saint Francis de Sales, (1567-1622)
Begin again daily…
It is right that you should begin again every day. There is no better way to complete the spiritual life than to be ever beginning it over again.
–Saint Francis de Sales, (1567-1622)
Through confession purify…
Be brave and try to detach your heart from worldly things. Do your utmost to banish darkness from your mind and come to understand what true, selfless piety is. Through confession, endeavor to purify your heart of anything which may still taint it. Enliven your faith, which is essential to understand and achieve piety.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Faith is a gift….
Faith is a gift of God. Without it there would be no life. And our work, to be fruitful, and to be all for God, and to be beautiful, has to be built on faith – faith in Christ, who has said, “I was hungry, I was naked, I was sick and I was homeless, and you ministered to Me.” On these words of His all our work is based.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Progress everyday in…
Progress everyday in love and in the virtues; if you stop, you will go backwards… Work without ceasing and often examine at what point you have reached: the means of knowing whether you are progressing in the love of God and in all virtues, consists in seeing whether you are growing in love of your neighbor and in humility… If you are growing in these two things, it is certain proof that you are also growing in all perfection.
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
God descends to the humble…
God descends to the humble as waters flow down from the hills into the valleys.
— Saint John of Kronstadt (1829-1908)
