A soul united…
A soul united to Jesus is a living smile which radiates Him and which gives Him.
— Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906)

Holiness does not demand anything great, beyond the ability of the person. It depends on God’s love; every daily act can be transformed into an act of love.
— Saint Ursula Julia Ledochowska (1865-1939)
A life lived…
A life lived in the world can be as good, in the eyes of God, as one spent in a monastery. It is indeed only the keeping of God’s commandments, love of all, and a true sense of humility that matter, wherever we are.
— Saint Macarius of Optina (1788-1860)
Don’t imagine you would…
Don’t imagine that, if you had a great deal of time, you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea; it is no hindrance to prayer to spend your time well.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
I will live as…
I will live as the child of an infinitely good, wise, and powerful father whom I desire to please, and to make happy.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675–1751)
This is true spirituality….
This is the true spirituality, which is valid for all times and for everybody. We cannot become truly good in a better, more marvelous, and yet easier way than by the simple use of the means offered us by God, the unique director of souls. It is the ready acceptance of all that comes to us at each moment of our lives.
— Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)
