Prayer

Man, remember how to "be";
GOD will remember your works.

Prayer is the soul turned to God. It is impossible to be rightly disposed without being in an attitude of prayer. To be present is to be in the presence of God; to be present in God. Every experience of the true is an experience of the holy.

Holiness is meaning in the world.

Cast your heart upon the waters! Give your head to providence! Enter swiftly on that path which leads away from world events!

Be of good cheer; for the Lord is with you, always. Remembrance of this alone is needful. Every soul is well supplied until it doubts.

Jesus of my Heart, Lover of God, Sweet Flame, consume my life!

Overwhelm me, Father, with your thousand favors. Teach me to love. All good things are in your Son, to whom I owe amazement.

Have you exhausted the treasures of righteousness, that you should look elsewhere for an inheritance? God forbid! Only summon up the courage of your faith. There is gold enough among the good.

Love is golden splendor, giggling cherubs, soft honey in your tummy, light tumbling up your eyelids, the sky warm and giant, loose breezes in September.

The judgement of the Lord is mercy: A reprimand sufficiently tender to impress upon us the importance of tenderness could hardly be called a reprimand.

As a boy holds the hand of his father, hold the name of God.

It is sweet to remember the Lord; to stumble, at once, on the source, substance, and subject of all that is good.

Church is a spiritual gymnasium;
faith is a muscle exercised in prayer.

Virtue leaves its perfume in the mind.

We have light enough to find him, if we are serious about looking.

Prayer is the journey as well as the destination;
you cannot turn to God without turning to God.

Decorate the walls of your mind with icons of the saints.

We sing that we sing! We glory that we glory!
Praise the Lord who makes us to declare his praises!

Every prayer answers another prayer;
if I pray for you, someone prays for me.

Gratitude is the measure of gifts.

He is king who sits in his rightful place.
