No period of the Christian life is exempt from temptation. The temptations incident to the earlier stages are different from those incident to a later period, and are to be resisted in a different manner.
–François Fénèlon (1651-1715)
Example makes a much greater impression than words.
–Saint John Baptiste de la Salle (1651-1719)
How long has Jesus been knocking at the door of your heart, waiting to enter?
–Saint John Baptiste de la Salle (1651-1719)
Do not let anticipation of tomorrow be a burden on the day that is passing. What you lack in the evening, the morrow will
bring you, if you know how to hope in God.
–Saint John Baptiste de la Salle (1651-1719)
I will often consider myself as an instrument which is of no use except in the hands of the Workman. Hence I must await the orders of Providence before acting and be careful to accomplish them when unknown.
–Saint John Baptiste de la Salle (1651-1719)
The will of God presents itself at each moment like an immense ocean that the desire of your heart cannot empty; yet you will drink from that ocean according to your faith and love.
–Jean-Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751)
