I am opening a new topic. As the name implies, here we will post wise quotes throughout human history with moral messages as well as some smart advice... Everything is in a heap, so it can always be checked. Came across today, so let's get started and the last for today
Keep quiet - about yourself it is humility -about other people's mistakes, that's love - from useless words it is penance - at a convenient time in a convenient place that is prudence -carrying crosses that is heroism Servant of God, Ante Antić
This is so powerful I am copying and posting on my refrigerator where I can see it every day. Thank you.
Your welcome ! If by any chance a word or meaning in the translation is not good (grammatically), feel free to replace it... I'm translating it from Croatian, where it sounds fluent, and my English isn't that good to match. In our country, this quote from Padre Pio, which I could not find in English, is often "spinning" on social networks, i.e. his statement that is encouraging, calming and motivating. This is in Croatian, the translation would go like this. "God paid too much to leave you"
Mother Teresa: We may spend time in chapel — but have you seen with the eyes of your soul how He looks at you with love? Do you really know the living Jesus — not from books but from being with Him in your heart? Have you heard the loving words He speaks to you? Ask for the grace, He is longing to give it.
I don't know how to put this under a quote... But when Mother Teresa was already mentioned. On one occasion, she asked for help for the poor. Someone spat on her, then she said "This is for me, now do you have anything for my poor".
"......For one without the other is a destructive lie." ~ St. Theresa Benedicta of The Cross (Edith Stein)
"Jesus resides in the tabernacle, burning with the desire to come into your heart." "Receive Communion often." "The guest of our soul knows our misery; He comes to find an empty tent within us - that is all He asks." - St. Therese of Lisieux
"By our little acts of charity practiced in the shade, we convert souls far away, we help missionaries, we win for them abundant alms; and by that means build actual dwellings spiritual and material for our Eucharistic Lord." "It is not to remain in a golden ciborium that He comes down each day from Heaven, but to find another Heaven, the Heaven of our soul in which He takes delight." "The Bread of Angels comes as divine dew to strengthen you, and to give you all that is wanting to you." - St. Therese of Lisieux, Doctor of the Church
"Holiness is a disposition of the heart. Humble and little in the arms of God, aware of our weakness but confident in His Fatherly goodness." - St. Therese of the Infant Jesus
With the Blessed Sacrament suspended in the air, the Angel of Peace, St Michael the Archangel, prostrated himself and recited this prayer to the children in 1916. O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners. St Michael also taught the three little seers of Fatima another Eucharistic prayer. Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee! My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament!
