What will be the crown of those who, humble within and humiliated without, have imitated the humility of our Savior in all its fullness!
Bernadette SoubirousIt is loving the Cross that one finds one heart, for Divine Love cannot live without suffering.
Bernadette SoubirousIf one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces... never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again. That's the beauty of being alive... We can always start all over again. Enjoy God's amazing opportunities bestowed on us. Have faith in Him always.
Bernadette SoubirousThe Eucharist bathes the tormented soul in light and love. Then the soul appreciates these words, 'Come all you who are sick, I will restore your health.'
Bernadette SoubirousI shall spend every moment loving. One who loves does not notice her trials; or perhaps more accurately, she is able to love them. I shall do everything for Heaven, my true home. There I shall find my Mother in all the splendor of her glory. I shall delight with her in the joy of Jesus himself in perfect safety.
Bernadette SoubirousMy hope is in you, Lord. Be my refuge, for You are my strength.... Into Your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit. You have redeemed me, Lord, God of Truth.
Bernadette SoubirousWatch over me, Father, so that everything I do may be with the intention of pleasing Jesus.
Bernadette SoubirousWhy must we suffer? Because here below pure Love cannot exist without suffering. O Jesus, Jesus, I no longer feel my cross when I think of yours.
Bernadette SoubirousO Jesus and Mary, let my entire consolation in this world be to love you and to suffer for sinners.
