A small but persistent discipline is a great force; for a soft drop tailing persistently, hollows out hard rock.
— Saint Isaac of Syria (Seventh Century)
Determined determination…
We must have a determined determination to never give up prayer.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Pray by enduring…
You adore Him better by your silence them by your speeches. If you are incapable of anything whatever, then suffer. If you cannot pray by effort, then you will pray by endurance.
–Saint Jane Francis de Chantal (1572-1641)
Weariness of spirit…
If anyone of you be for a time cast down with weariness of spirit or afflicted with aridity of heart so that the torrent of devoted love seem to be dried up…. realize the Lord’s way. For a time, He will draw away from you that you may seek Him with greater ardor and, having sought, may find Him with greater joy and, having found, may hold Him with greater love and having held, may never let Him go.
–Blessed Jordan of Saxony (c. 1190-1237)
Most Important…
The most important thing in the life of every man and every woman is not that they should never fall along the way. The important thing is always to get back up, not to stay on the ground licking your wounds.
–Pope Francis (1936-
