Be resigned to the will of God in all things; make frequent acts of
submission; regard with the eye of faith all interior and exterior troubles as
coming from God; do not think of the future – that is, of its misfortunes, its
trials, and other occurrences which the imagination may conjure up, but dispel
them in the will of God.
Saint Paul of the Cross
(1694-1775)

On Prayer
26 August 2022
We should not trust every word we hear or every feeling in our hearts; rather, we should bring such matters before God and carefully ponder them at our leisure.
Thomas à Kempis

On Love
25 August 2022
Love is a great thing so long as it continually returns to its fountainhead, flows back to its source, always drawing from there the water which constantly replenishes it. Of all the movements, sensations and feelings of the soul, love is the only one in which the creature can respond to the Creator and make some sort of similar return however unequal though it be. For when God loves, all he desires is to be loved in return; the sole purpose of his love is to be loved, in the knowledge that those who love him are made happy by their love of him.
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

Dismiss All Anger
24 August 2022
Dismiss all anger and look into yourself a little. Remember that he of whom you are speaking is your brother, and, as he is in the way of salvation, God can make him a Saint, in spite of his present weakness.
Saint Thomas of Villanova (1488-1555)

On God's Peace
23 August 2022
If a man truly loves God, and has no will but to do God’s will, the whole force of the river Rhine may run at him, and will not disturb him nor break his peace. If we find outward things a danger and disturbance, it comes from our appropriating to ourselves what is God’s.
Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
