Blessed poverty…
What kind of poverty, then, is blessed? The kind that is not in love with earthly things and does not seek worldly riches: the kind that longs to be filled with the blessings of heaven.
— Saint Leo the Great (c. 400-461)
Lose yourself on the Cross…
Leave it all to Him, let go of yourself, lose yourself on the Cross, and you will find yourself entirely.
–Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
God wants our soul to be…
Now realize that this is how God wants our soul to be, without any selfish love of ourselves or of others is in between us, just as God loves us without anything in between.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Resign entirely to God..
You have yet many things which you must give up, and unless you resign them entirely to God you will not obtain that which you ask.
–Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
His will is accomplished…
Affliction or consolation, health or sickness, is all one to a heart that loves. Since we wish only to please God, it should be enough for us that His Will is accomplished.
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
To be full…
To be full of things is to be empty of God. To be empty of things is to be full of God.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
