In God’s service…
Use and experience teach that it is not the lazy and listless, but the ardent and eager, who enjoy calm and peace of mind in God’s service.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Love of our…
One of the things which we must be very firm about, if we are to please our Lord, is to cast far from us everything that could remove us from the love of our brethren. We should make every effort to love them with a tender charity, for Supreme Truth has said: “This is how all will know you are my disciples, etc.” (John 13:35)
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Imitate Christ’s life…
We must imitate Christ’s life and his ways if we are to be truly enlightened and set free from the darkness of our own hearts. Let it be the most important thing we do, then, to reflect on the life of Jesus Christ.
–Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
Spiritual things…
Why is it that we have so little liking for spiritual things? This is because we love Jesus Crucified so little.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Turn to God and be converted…
Turn to God quickly and completely. Be converted to him. Do not keep procrastinating… It is a common mistake to think that the mercy of God is so great that there will be no punishment.
–Richard Rolle (c. 1300-1349)
We can all love…
Not all of us can fast, or undertake arduous journeys in God’s service, or give generous alms, but we can all love. All it takes is the sincere desire to do so.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
