Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
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.
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.
He who knows how to suffer will enjoy much peace, and he is a conqueror of himself, the lord of the world, the friend of Christ, and an heir of Heaven.
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
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
