Words For The Day

Be content to progress in slow steps until you have legs to run and wings with which to fly. -- Padre Pio, Quiet Moments with Padre Pio (Patricia Treece ed.)


If you want to receive divine light, pray.
If you have begun to make progress and want this light to be intensified within you, pray.
And if you have reached the summit of perfection and want to be super-illumined so as to remain in that state, pray. -- Angela of Foligno, Complete Works (Paulist Press)


Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. -- Marcus Tullius Cicero

Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go. -- Louise Driscoll


All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you. -- Rainer Maria Rilke


Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy. -- Jacques Maritain
