“(Many men) have a number of good qualities, and are in a certain sense and up to certain point religious; but they do not watch. Their notion of religion is briefly this: loving God indeed, but loving this world too; not only doing their duty, but finding their chief and highest good , in that state of life to which it has pleased God to call them, resting in it, taking it as their portion. They serve God, and they seek Him; but they look on the present world as if it were eternal.” St. Cardinal Newman

“The surest way to determine whether one possesses the love of God is to see whether he or she loves his or her neighbor. These two loves are never separated. Rest assured, the more you progress in love of neighbor, the more your love of God will increase.”  St. Teresa of Avila

“Your imperfections do not shock me, for I see myself with so many.” St. Teresa of Avila

“However much we do to avoid them, we shall never lack crosses in this life if we are in the ranks of the Crucified.” St. Teresa of Avila
