“We must often draw the comparison between time and eternity. This is the remedy of all our troubles. How small will the present moment appear when we enter that great ocean” – St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Inspirational thoughts
Prayer
“For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.” – Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
The storms of life
“I know well that the greater and more beautiful the work is, the more terrible will be the storms that rage against it.” -St. Faustina
Learning to let go
Anxiety
“Anxiety increases in direct ratio and proportion as man departs from God.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
Trust
“Leave it all to God and leave your interests in His hands. He knows what is fitting for us…” St. Teresa of Ávila
“Joy” beats happiness!
“Joy is prayer–Joy is strength–Joy is love–Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls…. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love. Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen.”
– SAINT MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA
Fighting lethargy?
“Physical idleness deteriorates the mind; spiritual idleness deteriorates the heart.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
