Through us

“What we say does not matter-only what God says to souls through us.”

--Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Great things

“We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.”

--Mother Teresa of Calcutta

How long the Winter

No matter how long the Winter, Spring is sure to follow.

--Proverb

Prayer and love

"If there were only a sufficient volume of prayer and love--the prayer that expresses love and the love that expresses prayer--in the world, then the dark cloud that weighs down on us would not only be pierced here and there to let in the light, but would be dissipated, and the world as a whole would be open once again to the infinite skies..."

--Rev. Gerald Vann, O.P. in The High Green Hills 

The will of God

"The will of God is itself the better part. There is nothing more to do then to let it act and abandon ourselves to it, blindly, with perfect confidence."

--Father Jean C. J. d'Elbee in I Believe in Love

God before our eyes

‘I am with you till the consummation of the world’, says our Lord to his Apostles. The Apostles in all the trials they had to endure could well say with truth that the Lord was with them. Being so fervent, so careful in the practice of the presence of God, they considered God constantly before their eyes. Let us endeavor in all our trials to have God before our eyes; the neglect of this practice has been the reason of so many faults.

Let us have God before our eyes day and night and we shall advance in perfection.

--Saint Charles of Mount Argus, C.P.

Kindnesses

"Great persons are able to do great kindnesses."

--Miguel de Cervantes
