“A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship, as … the callosity formed round a broken bone makes it stronger than before.” St. Francis de Sales

God’s plan for you
“God leads every soul by a separate path.” St. John of the Cross
Worry about God’s plan for YOU!
Tooting your own horn?
“There were two classes of charitable people: one, the people who did a little and made a great deal of noise; the other, the people who did a great deal and made no noise at all.”
― Charles Dickens, Bleak House
Living in God’s presence
“Wherever we go, God is there.Whenever we call, God is listening.Whatever we need, God is enough.” (Amish Proverb)
Living in God’s presence…
Always right?
Do not believe that you alone can be right.
The man who thinks that,
The man who maintains that only he has the power
To reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul—
A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.
– Sophocles, Antigone
Never wrong?
St. Joseph
“We may well call St Joseph the martyr of the hidden life, for no one ever suffered as he did. But why so much sorrow in his life? Simply because the holier a person is, the more he must suffer for the love and glory of God. Suffering is the flowering of God’s grace in a soul and the triumph of the soul’s love for God.”St. Peter Julian Eymard
