  • We must never pray for a favor for anyone, except conditionally, saying, 'If it please God,' or the like.
    -St. Philip Neri

    I hold it true, whate'er befall;
    I feel it, when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost
    Than never to have loved at all.
    (In Memoriam A. H. H., 27.13-17 Alfred, Lord Tennyson)

  • Give something, however small, to the one in need. For it is not small to one who has nothing. Neither is it small to God, if we have given what we could.
    -St. Gregory nαzιanzen
    I hold it true, whate'er befall;
    I feel it, when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost
    Than never to have loved at all.

  • Anxiety is the greatest evil that can befall a soul, except sin. God commands you to pray, but He forbids you to worry.
    -St. Francis de Sales

    I feel it, when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost
    Than never to have loved at all.

  • Attribute to God every good that you have received. If you take credit for something that does not belong to you, you will be guilty of theft.
    -St. Anthony of Padua

    I hold it true, whate'er befall;

    'Tis better to have loved and lost
    Than never to have loved at all.

  • Here is one of the best means to acquire humility; fix well in mind this maxim: One is as much as he is in the sight of God, and no more.
    -St Francis of Assisi

    I hold it true, whate'er befall;
    I feel it, when I sorrow most;

    Than never to have loved at all.

  • The more the wicked abound, so much the more must we suffer with them in patience; for on the threshing floor few are the grains carried into the barns, but high are the piles of chaff burned with fire.

    I feel it, when I sorrow most;

  • There is no danger if our prayer is without words or reflection because the good success of prayer depends neither on words nor on study. It depends upon the simple raising of our minds to God, and the more simple and stripped of feeling it is, the surer it is.
    -St. Jane Frances de Chantal
    I hold it true, whate'er befall;
    I feel it, when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost
    Than never to have loved at all.

  • The soul that journeys to God, but doesn't shake off it's cares and quiet it's appetities, is like someone who drags a cart of dirt uphill.
