Happy are those who work for peace: God will call them his children!
Quotations
Jesus Christ
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
Ask, and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime, nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant, nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth ; because love is born of God, nor can it rest upon created things, but only in God
Evil men sprout like weeds in the sun, like weeds that spread all through the garden. Their roots wrap round the stones and hold fast to every rock.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
