God has planted in our souls
all that we need to find him: eyes to see Him,
hands to touch Him, and a heart to love him.

 
Luis María Martínez, 20th century

We must serve God with our whole heart
and do all in our power to prevent ourselves from sinning;
but all this is to be done with joy,
liberty of heart, and entire confidence,
in spite of all the weakness that we feel and the faults we commit.

 
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century

God gave Himself to you:
give yourself to God.

 
Bl. Robert Southwell, 16th century

Love God, serve God;
everything is in that.

 
St. Clare of Assisi, 13th century

Let each day
be a day of beginning again, of loving God a bit more,
of turning your face to him anew.

 
Servant of God, Catherine Doherty, 20th century

The good and pure soul
is so happy to be filled with God,
that it desires to take delight in nothing else.

 
St. Leo the Great, 5th century

For the one who loves God
it is sufficient to please the one he loves.

 
St. Leo the Great, 5th century

Since He loved us first
out of His great tenderness,
we are bound to repay Him with love.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century
