“Go to the Heart of Jesus, which is a treasure-house of all riches and of all good.” ~St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

“Consider, beloved, and ponder according to the light granted by the Holy Spirit, who it is that has drawn us into himself, and who it is that we have drawn to ourselves. For as the Lord Jesus was made our flesh by being born, so too have we been made His Body by being born again. Therefore, we are both members of Christ and the temple of the Holy Spirit.” ~Pope St. Leo the Great

“What is the end in view concerning our sufferings? Our Lord does not take pleasure in our troubles, but He permits them, that we may detach ourselves from creatures—and especially from ourselves—and draw more closely to Him, uniting ourselves to Him more and more.” ~Fr. Secondo Franco

“I take no heed what a man hath been, but I take heed what he will be….Of unworthy, I make worthy, and of sinful, I make rightful.” ~Margery Kempe

“…Meekness precedes humility….Meekness is the immutable state of the mind, which preserves an equable frame in good fortune and in disgrace. Meekness is to sincerely and ex animo pray for those who trouble you, without being troubled yourself. Meekness is a jutting rock against the fury of the sea, which breaks all its waves, while remaining itself unmoved and unbroken.” ~St. John Climacus
