To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do.
~Hermann Hesse (via The Hammock Papers)

Lord,
may our evening prayer come before you
and let the faith our lips profess
live in the prayerful thoughts of our hearts.
~Liturgy of the Hours, Evening Prayer for Tuesday in Ordinary Time, Week IV

Trust in God experienced—not contemplated—is the most liberating thing in the world.
~Marion Fernandez-Cueto, Surrender the Choosing: A Lenten Journey Toward Trust

We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on material success; nor on sciences that cloud the intellect. Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus alone.
– Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (via Saint Quote of the Day)

If we had faith, we would be grateful to all creatures, we would bless them and inwardly thank them for contributing, under God’s hand, so favorably to our perfection.
~Jean-Pierre de Caussade, The Sacrament of the Present Moment
Sat 13 Feb 2010
Faith gives the whole earth a celestial aspect; by it the heart is transported, enraptured to commune with heaven. Each moment is a revelation of God.
~Jean-Pierre de Caussade, The Sacrament of the Present Moment
