One can never learn…
A man can never learn what divine power is while he abides in comfort and spacious living.
–Saint Isaac of Syria (Seventh Century)
God requires us…
Reflect that God requires nothing else of us except that we show our neighbors the love we have for God.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
The measure of your love…
You are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
By humble and faithful prayer…
By humble and faithful prayer, the soul acquires, with time and perseverance, every virtue.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Wait with blazing…
Wait with blazing desire, deep humility, and much eagerness. If you learn to wait, you’ll surely receive our King, who comes to us humble and meek, and seated on a donkey. O endless love! You confound human pride. We see You, the King of kings, approaching humbly, seated on a beast, disgracefully rejected. Let those who seek worldly honor and glory think on this and blush for shame.
— Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Humble and obedient…
We will be humble as we are obedient, and as obedient as we are humble.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
