“Should anyone object that a life according to faith is opposed to nature, I answer: It is, no doubt, opposed to nature--but to a depraved and fallen nature. It is burdensome, yes, but only for those who rely on their own strength and resources. But for one who trusts in God and begs for His assistance, the observance of the law of Jesus Christ is sweet and easy.”
― St. Alphonsus Liguori, The 12 Steps to Holiness and Salvation

“I thought we went along paths—but it seems there are no paths. The going itself is the path.”
― CS Lewis

“The room of love is another world. You go there wearing no watch, watching no clock. It is the world without end, so small that two people can hold it in their arms, and yet it is bigger than world on world, for it contains the longing of all things to be together, and to be at rest together. You come together to the day's end, weary and sore, troubled and afraid. You take it all in your arms, it goes away, and there you are where giving and taking are the same, and you live a little while entirely in a gift. The words have all been said, all permissions given, and you free in the place that is the two of you together. What could be more heavenly than to have desire and satisfaction in the same room?”
― Wendell Berry, Hannah Coulter

“The Lord has written us in His hands with His own blood. Therefore we should allow nothing to disquiet us, for He arranges and disposes everything with these very hands which were nailed to the cross as a proof of His love for us.”
― St. Alphonsus Liguori, The 12 Steps to Holiness and Salvation
