“The saints rejoiced at injuries and persecutions, because in forgiving them they had something to present to God when they prayed to Him.”

Prayer is an act of love. Words are not needed.

Desire to see God, be fearful of losing Him, and find joy in everything that can lead to Him. If you act in this way, you will always live in great peace.

Pain is never permanent.

It is the nature of love to work in a thousand different ways.

It is a dangerous thing to be satisfied with ourselves.

Don’t let your sins turn into bad habits.

The life of prayer is just love to God, and the custom of being ever with Him.

Souls without prayer are like bodies, palsied and lame, having hands and feet they cannot use.

All times are dangerous times.

Truth suffers, but never dies.

Never do anything which you could not do in the sight of all.

Prayer is an act of love; words are not needed. Even if sickness distracts from thoughts, all that is needed is the will to love.

However softly we speak, God is near enough to hear us.

To want to become angels while we are still on earth is ridiculous.

Anyone who truly loves God travels securely.

May God protect me from gloomy saints.

Oh God, I say not hear my prayers! I say: Blot with forgiving pen my sins away!

Oh Thou, who Man of baser Earth didst make, And ev’n with Paradise devise the snake; For all the Sin wherewith the Face of Man Is blackened – Man’s forgiveness give and take!

Be generous, and pleasant-tempered, and forgiving; even as God scatter favors over thee, do thou scatter over the people.

Kids need love the most when they’re acting most unlovable.

I may have forgiven you but forgiving myself is a much slower process.

Refusing to forgive is like ingesting a lethal dose of poison and hoping it kills my enemy.

The sun will stand as your best man And whistle When you have found the courage To marry forgiveness When you have found the courage to marry Love.

Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realising you were the prisoner!
