Inspirational thoughts
Stay strong…
“You must not abandon the ship in a storm because you cannot control the winds….What you cannot turn to good, you must at least make as little bad as you can.” St. Thomas More
Judging others
“Aesop says in a fable that everyone carries a double wallet on his shoulders, and into the one that hangs at his breast he puts other folk’s faults and he looks and pores over it often. In the other he puts all his own and swings it at his back, which he never likes to look in, although others that come behind him cast an eye into it sometimes.” St. Thomas More
Trusting in God’s plan
Solitude
“The man who fears to be alone will never be anything but lonely, no matter how much he may surround himself with people. But the man who learns, in solitude and recollection, to be at peace with his own loneliness, and to prefer its reality to the illusion of merely natural companionship, comes to know the invisible companionship of God.” Thomas Merton
Understanding…
Humble
“What will be the crown of those who, humble within and humiliated without, have imitated the humility of our Saviour in all its fullness!” St. Bernadette
