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
Do not worry about tomorrow, it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
Love feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
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.
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
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.
