Do all things well…
For the greater glory of God, the important thing is not to do many things, but to do all things well.
–Saint Bernadette (1844-1879)
Doing good during…
Nulla dies sine linea: Do not let a day pass without doing some good during it.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
Accept all things…
Where can a man warm himself better than by the fire? So it is in God. Man must bring all that concerns him to God, and leave all with Him. God will provide for him in the best of ways. He must trust all things to God; and, in that trust, he must be ready to accept all things, as for the best, and rest in the divine peace.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300–1361)
Grow closer to…
You don’t have to leave the world to be holy and grow closer to the Holy One.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
God alone can satisfy…
God alone can satisfy our desires… It is not very intelligent to desire what can never satisfy. While enjoying wealth, you keep searching for something you still lack. You run back-and-forth from one pleasure to another, becoming tired, but never satisfied… Eventually we will come to say to God, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.” Anything else is doomed to failure.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
See the light…
If you do not reach the point of despair, you will never see the Light.
–Gabriela Papayannis (1897-1992)
