At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Do not be afraid, little flock, for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom.
Luke 12:32-34
Happy are the Christians who feel the honour and acknowledge the grace which God has bestowed upon them when He has received them as His servants! Oh! what a good Master we have! how magnificent are His promises! how faithful He is to carry them out! how liberal are His rewards! How happy is he who serves Him! and thrice happy is the choice he has made! Oh! If all men knew what it was to be a servant of God, they would have no more ardent wish or aspire to a higher honour than to be reckoned among the number of His faithful servants.
Henri Marie Boudon
Wherever we go there is mercy, the peaceful, active, endless mercy of our Heavenly Father. If we work by day, we work in mercy’s light, and we sleep at night in the lap of our Father’s mercy. The courts of Heaven gleam with its outpoured prolific beauty. Earth is covered with it, as the waters cover the bed of the stormy sea. Purgatory is, as it were, its own separate creation, and is lighted by its gentle moonlight, gleaming there soft and silvery, through night and day.
Father Faber
God does not act as men do. He does not grant half a pardon.
La Pere De La Colombiere
Had you tasted the sweet delight which God has poured into our souls, you would indeed despise the good things this world offers.
Father Spinola
Full confidence in the goodness of Almighty God is one of the sure marks of predestination.
Pere Vincent Houdry (17th century)
