C.S Lewis says.. There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way."
Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.
The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.
Saint Augustine says..If you plan to build a tall house of virtues, you must first lay deep foundations of humility.
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being.
Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending.
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
