In this world, so far from God,
believe that God is present: loving, giving himself,
pouring his peace into souls of good will.

 
'They Speak by Silences', anon. Carthusian

We must remember how near God is,
and that no thought of ours, no conversation we hold,
is hidden from him.

 
St. Clement of Rome, 1st century

May the Lord bless every step I take,
and the ground beneath my feet.

 
Irish Prayer

May there be within us a kind of spiritual paradise
where God may walk
and be our sole ruler with his Christ.

 
Origen, 3rd century

We are always seen by God in the heavens.
Our actions everywhere are in God’s sight
and reported by angels at every hour.

 
St. Benedict, 6th century

Jesus is never so close to you
as he is during your spiritual battles. 
He is always there, close to you,
encouraging you to fight your battle courageously.

 
St. Pio of Pietrelcina, 20th century

While in heaven, God is with us;
and we, while on earth, are with him. 

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

Jesus is with you
even when you don’t feel his presence. 

 
St. Pio of Pietrelcina, 20th century
