Quote for the Night

[Shin]

'My little children, your hearts, are small, but prayer stretches them and makes them capable of loving God. Through prayer we receive a foretaste of heaven and something of paradise comes down upon us. Prayer never leaves us without sweetness. It is honey that flows into the souls and makes all things sweet. When we pray properly, sorrows disappear like snow before the sun.'

St. Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney, the Cure of Ars

[Shin]

'The lover of Jesus will be freed from evil; the disciples of Jesus will behold true knowledge.'

St. Thalassios the Libyan

[Shin]

'I also intend that, as I tell the sweet memory of the saints of the past in their books, each creature ought to make itself praiseworthy in its creator through the manifestation of the divine Providence conferred upon it by the divine Creator. In this, one will know globally the infinite charity of our Lord God when, through his mercy, he deigns to help and conserve his creation each day, keeping it safe amid accidents and frequent dangers.'

St. Catherine of Bologna

[Shin]

'The love of God is a jealous love. One atom of irregular affection for creatures suffices to ruin everything.'

St. Paul of the Cross
