Quote/s of the Day – 29 May – St Maria Magdalena de’ Pazzi

Quote/s of the Day – 29 May – Sunday within the Octave of Ascension – The Memorial of St Maria Magdalena de’ Pazzi O.Carm (1566-1607)

You will be consoled
according to the greatness
of your sorrow and affliction;
the greater the suffering,
the greater will be the reward
.”

By opening the door of our heart
to love for God,
this love dissolves all self-love in us.
But we must open the door!

Prayer ought to be humble,
fervent, resigned, persevering
and accompanied by great reverence.
One should consider,
that he stands in the presence of God
and speaks with a Lord
before whom the Angels tremble,
from awe and fear.

Never utter,
in your neighbour’s absence,
what you would not say,
in their presence.

St Maria Magdalena de’ Pazzi (1566-1607)

“Come, Holy Spirit. Spirit of truth,
You are the reward of the saints,
the comforter of souls,
light in the darkness,
riches to the poor,
treasure to lovers,

comfort to those who are wandering.
To sum up:
You are the one in whom all treasures are contained.”
