Jesus never pussyfooted

There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.

Silence, as someone has said, is the mother of prayer and the nurse of holy thoughts. Silence cuts down on our sins, doesn't it? We can't be sinning in so many different ways if we are being quiet before God. Silence nourishes patience, charity, discretion.

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.

We never know what God has up His sleeve. You never know what might happen; you only know what you have to do now.

But the question to precede all others, which finally determines the course of our lives is What do I really want? Was it to love what God commands, in the words of the collect, and to desire what He promises? Did I want what I wanted, or did I want what He wanted, no matter what it might cost?

I believe a woman, in order to be a good wife, must be (among other things) both sensual and maternal.
