Solitude
“A multitude of people and yet solitude.” Charles Dickens

Solitude
The joy of giving
“For joy cannot be dissociated from sharing. In God Himself, all is joy because all is giving.” Pope St. Paul VI

Joy
Prayer
“Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us.” St. Teresa of Avila

What is prayer?
See the light in others
“God has been very good to me, for I never dwell upon anything wrong which a person has done, so as to remember it afterwards. If I do remember it, I always see some other virtue in that person.” St. Teresa of Avila

Look for the good in others
Trinity Sunday
“Everyone who glorifies the Father does so through the Son in the Holy Spirit: everyone who follows Christ does so because the Father draws him and the Spirit moves him.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #259)
