Place your hope of peace not in men but in God alone.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
Ask, and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
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.
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 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.
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
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.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
