Every day He humbles Himself just as He did when from from His heavenly throne into the Virgin's womb; every day He comes to us and lets us see Him in lowliness, when He descends from the bosom of the Father into the hands of the priest at the altar.
Francis of AssisiWhen I think of the happiness that is in store for me, every sorrow, every pain becomes dear to me.
Francis of AssisiWhile you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
Francis of AssisiThe greatest security we can have in this world that we are in the grace of God, does not consist in the feelings that we have of love to Him, but rather in an irrevocable abandonment of our whole being into His hands, and in a firm resolution never to consent to any sin great or small.
Francis of Assisi
