Quote/s of the Day – 27 January – Monday of the Third Week in Ordinary Time, Year A and the Memorial of Blessed George Matulaitis MIC (1871-1927)
“My motto shall be:
to seek God in all things,
to do all things for the greater glory of God,
to bring the Spirit of God into all things
and to fill them with it.
May God and His glory
be the centre of my life,
the axis of all my thoughts,
feelings, desires and works.”
From the Journal of Blessed George, Archbishop.
(I Part: St Petersburg 1910-1911)
“But you must never despair
on account of your defects and failings.
The weaker we feel ourselves to be,
the more should we confide in God.
He is our strength and salvation.
Valiantly cry out in the words of St Paul:
“I can do all things in him, who strengthens me.”
And fight.
God will not abandon you.”
From a letter to Miss Minetaite in Obeliai
“Moreover, we should find time everyday,
or at least, every other day,
for more serious reading.
Without it, a man’s mind,
becomes very shallow and vain.”
From a letter to Rev. Dvaranauskas in Pilypava
“We need patience, too.
Once we start a task, trusting in God’s help,
we should stubbornly bring it to its conclusion.
If it is not a success, we will at least, have the consolation,
that it is not our fault –
we will perceive that it was not in God’s will.”
From a letter to Rev. Vaitkevičius in Częstochowa
“O Holy Church of God,
true kingdom of Christ on earth,
my dearest beloved!”
From the Journal of Blessed George, Archbishop.
