“A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.”

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these, they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve.

Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.

Holy wisdom confounds Satan and all his wickednesses.

Where there is injury let me sow pardon.

If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

We should never desire to be over others. Instead, we ought to be servants who are submissive to every human being for God’s sake.

I am the herald of the Great King.

The Father willed that his blessed and glorious Son, whom he gave to us and who was born for us, should through his own blood offer himself as a sacrificial victim on the altar of the cross. This was to be done not for himself through whom all things were made, but for our sins.

Holy charity confounds all diabolical and fleshly temptations and all fleshly fears.

Praised be You, my Lord, with all Your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, Who is the day through whom You give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour; of You, Most High, he bears the likeness.

No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.

For it is in giving that we receive.

Pure, holy simplicity confounds all the wisdom of this world and the wisdom of the flesh.

Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

We find greater lightness & ease in our lives as we increasingly care for ourselves & other beings.

I dreamed about you baby. It was just the other night. Most of you were naked Ah, but some of you was light.

In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.

There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.

The light still illuminates the room and banishes the murkiness, letting you see the things you couldn’t see before.

Blessed is the covenant of love, the covenant of mercy, useless light behind the terror, deathless song in the house of night.

I told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you.

Everything has a crack in it; that’s how the light gets in.
