Quote/s of the Day – 12 August – The Memorial of St Jane Frances de Chantal (1572-1641)
“Hold your eyes on God
and leave the doing to Him.
That is all the doing,
you have to worry about.”
“Follow your own way of speaking to our Lord,
sincerely, lovingly, confidently and simply,
as your heart dictates.”
“In prayer one must hold fast and never let go,
because the one who gives up, loses all.
If it seems that no-one is listening to you,
then cry out even louder.
If you are driven out of one door,
go back in by the other.”
“The great method of prayer is to have none.
If, in going to prayer,
one can form in oneself,
a pure capacity for receiving the spirit of God,
that will suffice for all method.”
“In prayer,
more is accomplished
by listening
than by talking.”
“Must you continue to be your own cross?
No matter which way God leads you,
you change everything into bitterness
by constantly brooding over everything.
For the love of God,
replace all this self-scrutiny,
with a pure and simple glance at God’s goodness.”
“Hell is full of the talented
but Heaven, of the energetic.”
I have no talents and I do have energy so that’s good news. Hmm, now if I could just get it to go in the right direction. Hmm?

BUT I disagree you are talented – with words, with the sick, with prayer and who knows what else!
