Walk very simply…
Walk very simply along the way our Lord shows you and don’t worry.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Do not become captive…
Do not allow your heavenly spirit to become captive to earthly things.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Countless little ways…
God calls to us in countless little ways all the time. Through illnesses and suffering and through sorrow he calls to us. Through a truth glimpsed fleetingly in a state of prayer he calls to us. No matter how halfhearted such insights may be, God rejoices whenever we learn what he is trying to teach us.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Souls fall away…
Souls generally do not fall away from Christ because of the Creed; they first have difficulty with the Commandments.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Many souls fail…
Many souls fail to find God because they want a religion which will remake society without remaking themselves.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Be faithful to God…
Always be faithful to God in keeping the promises made to Him and do not bother about the ridicule of the foolish. Know that the saints were always sneered at by the world and worldlings; and they have trampled them under foot and triumphed over the world and its maxims.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
