O my soul, what are you doing? Are you not aware that God sees you always? You can never hide yourself from His sight. O Father, have pity on us because we are blind and in darkness. Drive out the darkness and give me light. Melt the ice of my self-love and kindle in me the fire of Your charity.
St. Catherine of SienaGod cannot leave us. It is just that our soul is so vast, we do not always feel His lips upon the veil.
St. Catherine of SienaMake two homes for thyself, my daughter. One actual home . . . and the other a spiritual home which thou are to carry with thee always.
St. Catherine of Siena
