 Your patience will be crowned and your pains changed into eternal delights   – St. Vincent de Paul

God gives us what we can bear, and no more… If you believe that God wants only our good, you will stay perfectly happy. Be comforted in Christ crucified, and don’t be afraid.    - St. Catherine of Siena


 God leaves us to fall into arrogance and other passions so that we might acknowledge our infirmity and acknowledge where we are. In His goodness He leaves us, for our benefit, so that we might lay our trust and hope in Him, and not in ourselves. But beware of thinking that we fall into arrogance and other passions by God's will (for God's will is not in these); rather, God allows this to happen to us because of our negligence, and out of His love of mankind. He brings us from our evil deeds to humility, for our own salvation.    Sts. Barsanuphius and John the Prophet

 If you want to belong entirely to God you must be prepared to be despised and rejected by the world.  Blessed is he, my friends, who belongs to these, and who follows in the footsteps of the Lord with courage and carries his cross with patience.  It is only by doing so that we may obtain the happiness of reaching heaven.  Amen.   St. John Vianney

 This interior modification is required, as I have said, by proceeding gradually, not giving in to our own will and appetites, even in little things until the body is completely surrendered to the Spirit.  - St. Teresa of Jesus of Avila   The Way of Perfection - chapter 12:1

 I am mercy itself for the contrite soul. A soul's greatest wretchedness does not enkindle Me with wrath; but rather, My Heart is moved towards it with great mercy.   WORDS OF JESUS TO ST. FAUSTINA    (Diary 1739)
