Make me understand well that true peace does not consist in being exempt from difficulties or in following my own wishes, but in total adherence to Your will, and in docility to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit.
Sister Carmela of the Holy Spirit
O God, teach me to use all my powers to love You, so that all the faculties of mysoul and body: memory, understanding, and will, inward and outward senses, desires of the s nsual part and of the spiritual part, will work with n love and for the sake of love. Grant that all that I do I may do with love, and all that I suffer I may suffer with the pleasure of love, and that in this way, my God, I may keep all my strength for You.
St John of the Cross
The more the soul loves, the more it desires to love, and the greater its suffering, the greater its healing. [May our God], the good and saving physician, wound the depths of our soul with a healing wound.
Saint Columban
Thus the soul who possesses [charity] seeks its nourishment and rest in God alone
St Mary Magdalen dei Pazzi
O my God, give me such perfect charity that I may know how to yield to my neighbor, helping and relieving him in all his needs, weaknesses, and troubles. May I know how to have prudent compassion for the faults of others.
St Mary Magdalen dei Pazzi
God prefers humility in things done badly rather than pride in things done well
St Augustine
Come O Spirit of Fortitude, strengthen me!
Veni, Spiritus Fortitudinis, robora me!
