Put love and you…
Where there is no love, put love — and you will find love.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Precious to God…
Why do you have so low an opinion of yourself, when you are so precious to God? Why do you so dishonor yourself when you are so honored by God?
–Saint Peter Chrysologus (c. 380 – c. 450)
Going to be…
It is not as we are, however, that God loves us, but as we are going to be.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Love is the fulfillment…
Love is itself the fulfillment of all our works. There is the goal; that is why we run: we run toward it, and once we reach it, in it we shall find rest.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
God alone must be…
We must not give in to weariness: we must spend every minute in loving God. God alone, the maker of heaven and earth, must be our rest and our consolation. The love of God is the only thing we can possess forever: everything else will pass away.
–Saint Joaquina de Vedruna (1783-1854)
Charity is greater…
Charity is certainly greater than any rule.
Moreover, all rules must lead to charity.
–Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660)
