Happiness is the sense of peace and joy that stems from knowledge of and union with the One Who created us and Who loves us infinitely. We will attain it fully in heaven, but we can achieve it to a significant extent beforehand by battling our desire to remain independent of God, ignoring the voices that label religion boring and unnecessary, and better acquainting ourselves with Truth through study and prayer.
~Mary Anne Marks quoted in “God and Woman at Harvard“

This attitude of soul towards poverty is in truth the supreme test of the genuine Franciscan spirit whether in life or in art.
~Father Cuthbert, O.S.F.C., “St. Francis and Poverty” from Franciscan Essays

We commune with God as we honestly are and not as we would like to be. The idealized self is always dying in prayer, because it cannot bear the truth. And if we let it die and pray from who we are becoming, then our image of God changes as we understand more clearly who we are.
~Murray Bodo, O.F.M. — The Way of St. Francis: The Challenge of Franciscan Spirituality for Everyone
