It is never too late…
It’s never too late to be who you might have been.
–George Eliot (1819-1880)
Grace and mercy…
No one is strong in his own strength, but he is safe by the grace and mercy of God.
–Saint Cyprian of Carthage (c. 200-258)
Renounces this world…
So also the more perfectly a man renounces things of this world, and the more completely he dies to himself through contempt of self, the more quickly this great grace comes to him, the more plentifully it enters in, and the higher it uplifts the free heart.
–Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
The graces of prayer…
Remind yourself that the graces and benefits of prayer are not like water welling up from the earth, but more like water coming down from heaven; therefore, all our efforts cannot produce them, though it is true that we must ready ourselves to receive them with great care, yet humbly and peacefully. We must keep our hearts open and wait for the heavenly dew to fall.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
In God’s hands…
Life and death are in God’s Hands, He disposes of them as He sees fit.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Grace prepares you…
Bring to God a clean and open heart, if you wish to see how sweet the Lord is; though truly you will never attain this happiness unless His grace prepares you and draws you on so that you may forsake all things to be united with Jesus alone.
–Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
