Go forth and set the world on fire.
It is not hard to obey when we love the one whom we obey.
All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully.
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.
Teach us, Good Lord, to give and not count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labor and not to ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do thy will.
He who carries God in his heart bears Heaven with him wherever he goes.
We must speak to God as a friend speaks to his friend, servant to his master; now asking some favor, now acknowledging our faults, and communicating to Him all that concerns us, our thoughts, our fears, our projects, our desires, and in all things seeking His counsel.
Teach us to give and not to count the cost.
Finding God in All Things.
Pray as if God will take care of all; act as if all is up to you.
After you have made a decision that is pleasing to God, the Devil may try to make you have second thoughts. Intensify your prayer time, meditation, and good deeds. For if Satan’s temptations merely cause you to increase your efforts to grow in holiness, he’ll have an incentive to leave you alone.
He who goes about to reform the world must begin with himself, or he loses his labor.
