Quote for the Night

[Shin]

'That man attains to spiritual freedom, clearness of judgment, repose, tranquility and peaceful confidence, together with true worship and obedience of the will when he represses all joy in passing things. Man has greater joy and comfort in creatures if he detaches himself from them.'

St. John of the Cross

[Shin]

'When the enemy cannot succeed in making you sin, and has lost the hope of attaining this end, he strives at least to torment you.'

St. Ignatius of Loyola

[Shin]

'All men are made in God's image; but to be in His likeness is granted only to those who through great love have brought their own freedom into subjection to God. For only when we do not belong to ourselves do we become like Him who through love has reconciled us to Himself. No one achieves this unless he persuades his soul not to be distracted by the false glitter of this life.'

St. Diadochos of Photiki

[Shin]

'The faithful soul obeys God's will for the Church. Her spouse wants her to be perfect in every way, doing all with faith and charity. In this way, the Father will be the guiding principle for her actions; the Son, the source of her light; and the Holy Spirit the source of her love.'

St. Bernadette Soubirous
