Let God be God…
God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)

Be firm in your purposes and unswerving in your resolutions. Perseverance will prove whether you are sincerely sacrificing yourself to God and dedicating yourself to living a devout life.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
A soul enkindled with love is a gentle, meek, humble, and patient soul.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Continue to trust in God. Do you think that the God who takes care to provide food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth – which neither sow nor reap – will ever forget to provide all that is necessary for the one who trusts wholly in His Providence, seeing that we are capable of being united to God, our sovereign good?
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
A single act of love makes the soul return to life.
–Saint Maximilian Kolbe (1894-1941)
Prayer is the sum of our relationship with God. We are what we pray. The degree of our faith is the degree of our prayer. The strength of our hope is the strength of our prayer. The warmth of our charity is the warmth of our prayer. No more, no less.
–Carlo Carretto (1910-1988)
