Patience, prayer, and silence
Patience, prayer and silence–these are what give strength to the soul.
–Saint Faustina (1905-1938)
The years have gone by…
The years have gone by, one after the other, without our reflecting on how we have spent them, and whether there was anything in our conduct to improve, add or remove. We have lived thoughtlessly and unmindful that one day the eternal Judge shall call each of us and ask us to give an account of our deeds and how we made use of our time. And yet we shall have to give a most strict account of every minute, every grace, every holy inspiration and every occasion offered to us to do good.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Let go of your plans…
Let go of your plans. The first hour of your morning belongs to God. Tackle the day’s work that he charges you with, and he will give you the power to accomplish it.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
Fasting and prayer…
Fasting detaches you from this world. Prayer reattaches you to the next world. –Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Go forth in peace…
Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for he who created you has made you holy, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother.
–Saint Clare of Assisi (1194-1253)
Unite myself with God…
The knowledge that it was impossible to do anything of myself greatly simplified my task. Confident that the rest would be given me over and above, the one aim of my interior life was to unite myself more and more closely with God.
–Saint Therese Lisieux (1873-1897)
