Most people are…
Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand.
— Mark Twain (1835-1910)
To remember God…
Make the habit to remember God, not only during your prayers, but at every hour and minute of the day, for He is everywhere present.
— Saint Theophan the Recluse (1815-1894)
Turn to the Lord…
Do not grow faint in spirit, and do not despond during times of trouble; but turn to the Lord with humble prayers, and believe that help will come to you.
— Saint Moses of Optina (1782-1862)
Silence and emptiness…
As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — listen and do not hear — the tongue moves but does not speak … I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have free hand.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Show mercy to receive…
How can you have the effrontery to ask for what you refuse to give to others? You must show mercy in this world if you want to receive mercy in heaven.
— Saint Caesarius of Arles (460-542)
We are dying…
Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
–Blessed Pope Paul VI (1897-1978)
