“God loves you despite your unworthiness. It is His love which will make you better, rather than your betterment which will make Him love you. Often during the day say: God loves me, and He is on my side, by my side.”  Blessed Fulton Sheen

“The less we connect the Providence of God with all that happens, the more we are upset with the smallest annoyances of daily life.” Blessed Fulton Sheen

“Do not pray only in an emergency, the pleas of strangers is never as effective as the plea of friends. Do not think of God only in times of distress or danger. Heaven is not a firehouse, and God does not put out all the fires. Do not make all your prayers, prayers of petition.” Blessed Fulton Sheen

“The human heart is not shaped like a valentine heart, perfect and regular in contour.  It is slightly irregular in shape, as if a small piece of it were missing out of its side. The missing part may very well symbolize a piece that a spear tore out of the universal heart of humanity on the Cross, but it probably symbolizes something more. It may very well mean that when God created each human heart, he kept a small sample of it in heaven, and sent the rest of it into the world, where it would each day learn the lesson that it could never be really happy, that it could never be really wholly in love, that it could never be really whole-hearted until it rested with the Risen Christ in an eternal Easter.” Blessed Fulton Sheen

“Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil … a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. Tolerance applies only to persons … never to truth.” Blessed Fulton Sheen
