“How many gifts and graces You have given me! How many favors You have fed me from your hand! I look for your love in all directions, then suddenly its blessing burns in me.”

I love Allah: I have no time left in which to hate the devil.

He does not refuse sustenance to the one who speaks ill of Him. How then could He refuse sustenance to the one whose soul is over flowing with love for Him?

Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word My choicest hours Are the hours I spend with You – O God, I can’t live in this world Without remembering You.

Since no one really knows anything about God, those who think they do are just troublemakers.

Great doubt will eventually lead to great awakening.

O Beloved of Hearts, I beseech only You. Have pity this day on those who turn to You. My Hope, my Rest, my Delight, this heart can love none other but You.

O Allah, You know that the only thing I want in this life Is to be obedient to Your command. Even the living sight of my eyes Is service at your court

True devotion is for itself: not to desire heaven nor to fear hell.

O my Lord, whatever share of this world You have bestowed on me, bestow it to my enemies, and whatever share of the next world You have for me, give it to my friends. You are enough for me.

I swear that ever since the first day You brought me back to life, The day You became my Friend, I have not slept – And even if You drive me from your door, I swear again that we will never be separated – Because You are alive in my heart

Your prayers are your light; Your devotion is your strength; Sleep is the enemy of both. Your life is the only opportunity that life can give you. If you ignore it, if you waste it, You will only turn to dust.

I seek forgiveness from Allah for the lack of my sincerity when I say I seek the forgiveness of Allah

I will not serve Allah like a laborer, in expectation of my wages.

May Allah steal from you All that steals you from Him.

The real work is in the Heart: Wake up your Heart! Because when the heart is completely awake, Then it needs no Friend.

How long will you keep pounding on an open door Begging for someone to open it?

As a rule, prayer is answered and funds come in, but if we are kept waiting, the spiritual blessing that is the outcome is far more precious than exemption from the trial.

Not being beautiful was the true blessing. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.

We ought to ask the Blessed Virgin, the angels, and the saints to pray for us that we may receive the good God as worthily as it is possible for us to receive him.

Today, let’s be determined to see blessings in the midst of things that seem like burdens.

Sometimes, I feel I am really blessed to be blind because I probably would not last a minute if I were able to see things.

If you invoke the Blessed Virgin when you are tempted, she will come at once to your help, and Satan will leave you.

For every disability you have, you are blessed with more than enough abilities to overcome your challenges.

Yet I also believe that when you do unto others, blessings come to you as well. So if you don’t have a friend, be a friend. If you are having a bad day, make someone else’s day. If your feelings are hurt, heal those of another.
