QUOTATION: Morality

The peaceful soul does not seek, now, to live morally, but to live for God; morality is only a by-product of the union with Him.

--Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Peace of Soul, 1949

QUOTATION: Intimacy with the Lord

Intimacy with the Lord is not a matter of physical kinship; rather it is achieved by cheerful readiness to do the will of God.

--St. Basil the Great

QUOTATION: Spiritual Emptiness

During painful times, when you feel a terrible void, think how God is enlarging the capacity of your soul so that it can receive him--making it, as it were, infinite as he is infinite. Look upon each pain as a love token coming to you directly from God in order to unite you to him.

--Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity
