Christ made my soul…
Christ made my soul beautiful with the jewels of grace and virtue. I belong to Him whom the angels serve.
— Saint Agnes (c. 291 – c. 304)
God built heaven and earth…
God built heaven and earth to be the dwelling place of the human race. But He also built the human body and soul to make them His own abode, so that He might dwell therein and rest there as in a well kept house. . . In their houses, human beings carefully accumulate their wealth. The Lord in His house, our soul and body, amasses and stores up the heavenly riches of the Spirit.
–Pseudo-Macarius (Fifth Century)
The whole world preaches…
Listen to the sermon preached to you by the flowers, the trees, the shrubs, the sky, and the whole world. Notice how they preach to you a sermon full of love, of praise of God, and how they invite you to glorify the sublimity of that sovereign Artist who has given them being.
–Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775)
Every blade of grass…
Every blade of grass is a blade of grace, a grace note in God’s single Song. Nature is not blind and dumb. Nature is eloquent. Human science is blind and dumb if it does not hear this eloquence.
–Peter Kreeft (1937- )
The music of heaven…
There is the music of heaven in all things and we have forgotten how to hear it until we sing.
–Saint Hildegarde of Bingen (1098-1179)
What might the heart…
If seeds in the black earth can turn into such beautiful roses, what might the heart of man become in its journey toward the stars.
— GK Chesterton (1874-1936)
