“For he who would save his life will lose it but he who loses his life, for My sake will find it.”
Matthew 16:25
“Destroy yourself completely and sit, like a chick, content with the grace of God, for unless its mother gives it something, it tastes nothing and has nothing to eat.”
St Romuald (c951-1027)
“May the God of love and peace, set your hearts at rest and speed you on your journey, may He meanwhile, shelter you from disturbance by others, in the hidden recesses of His Love, until He brings you, at last, into that place of complete plenitude, where you will repose forever, in the vision of peace, in the security of trust and in the restful enjoyment of His riches.”
St Raymond of Peñafort (1175-1275)
“When I look at successful men, I find in all, three characteristics: (1) A spirit of cheerfulness and confidence. They know how to look at everything from its best side. Hence, I must pray for these attributes. (2) A spirit of perseverance. They are not discouraged by failures. They recover themselves without delay. What a lesson for me, not to lose heart but to say, when I fall, I will rise again and that, promptly! (3) A spirit of single-mindedness. They keep the end in view steadily before them. If I am to attain, to the End of my life, to succeed in coming to God at last, I must keep Him always before me.”
Quote/s of the Day – 7 February – St Romuald (c951-1027) Abbot
“In the Psalms there is one way. Do not abandon it. If you, who have come, with the fervour of a novice, cannot understand everything, strive to recite, with understanding of spirit and mind, now here, now there and when you begin to wander while reading, do not stop but hasten to correct yourself by concentrating.”
“Destroy yourself completely and sit, like a chick, content with the grace of God, for unless its mother gives it something, it tastes nothing and has nothing to eat.”
