Quote/s of the Day – 3 January – For a New Year
“You shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your mind.
And the second is like it:
You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”
Matthew 22:36,39
“If we would God discern
The world we must despise,
His love and hate must learn,
See all things with His eyes.
And we must self forgo
If God we would attain,
His grace must in us grow
And ease us from all pain.
So shall we sing His praise
And be at one with Him,
In peace our voices raise
In the celestial hymn,
That with quadruple harmony
And all mellifluous melody,
In Heaven resounds eternally.”
Bl Jan van Ruusbroec (1293-1381)
“We must make our way towards eternity,
never regarding what men think of us,
or of our actions,
studying only to please God.”
St Francis Borgia (1510-1572)
“Let us go forward in peace,
our eyes upon Heaven,
the only one goal of our labours.”
St Thérèse of the Child Jesus (1873-1897)
