In his love he clothes us, enfolds and embraces us;
that tender love completely surrounds us
never to leave us.

We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures.
We are the sum of the Father's love for us
and our real capacity to become the image of the Son.

Before you had a being, God loved you.
Even before the creation of the world, God loved you.
God loved you from eternity.

 
St. Alphonse Liguori, 18th century

If we knew how much God loves us
we would always be ready to receive equally
and with indifference from his hands
the sweet and the bitter.

 
Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, 17th century

God never tires of doing good to us,
and has always a most tender love for us.

 
St. Catherine of Genoa, 15th century

Christ will strengthen your faltering steps
and sustain you in moments of weakness.

 
Bl. Marie Rivier, 19th century

Since God is our refuge, it is him that we should flee.

God lights you by the light of day,
and nourishes you with the fruits of the earth;
It is true to say that every moment, the bounty,
the wisdom, and the power of God are at your service.

 
St. Ignatius of Loyola, 16th century
