You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
He who knows how to suffer will enjoy much peace, and he is a conqueror of himself, the lord of the world, the friend of Christ, and an heir of Heaven.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
Do not worry about tomorrow, it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
Love feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
