Quote/s of the Day – 19 October – St Peter of Alcantara OFM (1499-1562) Confessor
“The soul enjoys silence and peace,
not by many reasonings
but, by simply contemplating the Truth.”
“The trouble, is that everyone talks
about reforming others
and no-one thinks
about reforming himself.”
“In prayer, the soul cleanses itself from sin,
charity is nourished,
faith is strengthened,
hope made secure;
the spirit rejoices,
the soul grows tender
and the heart is purified,
truth discovers itself,
temptation is overcome,
sadness takes to flight,
the senses are renewed,
failing virtue is made strong,
tepidity disappears,
the rust of sin is rubbed away.
In it are brought forth,
lively flashes of heavenly desires
and in these fires,
burns the flame of Divine love.
Great are the excellences of prayer,
great its privileges.
The heavens open before it
and unveil therein, their secrets
and to it, are the ears of God ever attentive.”
