The beginning of prayer…
God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer -to know that God loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Live gladly…
The greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.

Live lost in divine love…
Live in the joy and the peace of the divine Majesty. Live lost in divine love. Live for divine love and of divine love.

Every work of ours…
Every work of ours ought to be done both without and with moderation… for love toward God should be without measure, and that for the creature should be measured by that for God.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
The Lord knows best…
The Lord knows best what is needful for us. What He does, He does for our good. If we really knew just how much He loves us, we would always be willing to receive anything from His hand. We would receive the bitter and the sweet without distinction. Anything, yes everything would please us just because it came from Him.
–Frank Laubach (1884-1970)
Perfect love of God…
Perfect love of God means the complete union of our will with God’s.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
