Quote/s of the Day – 13 July – Saturday of the Fourteenth week in Ordinary Time, Year C, Gospel: Matthew 10:24–33

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?
And not one of them will fall to the ground, 
without your Father’s will.
But even the hairs of your head, 
are all numbered.”

Matthew 10:29-30

“Do not say,
this happened by chance,
while this came to be of itself.”
In all that exists’
there is nothing disorderly,
nothing indefinite,
nothing without purpose,
nothing by chance …
How many hairs are on your head?
God will not forget one of them.
Do you see how nothing,
even the smallest thing,
escapes the gaze of God?”

Saint Basil the Great (329-379)
Father & Doctor of the Church

“We must offer ourselves to God,
like a clean, smooth canvas 
and not worry ourselves,
about what God 
may choose to paint on it
but at each moment, 
feel only the stroke of His brush.”

Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade SJ (1675-1751)
