Since love for our Creator cannot be sustained unless we love others for God's sake.
St. Catherine of SienaThe soul, as soon as she comes to know Me, reaches out to love her neighbors.
St. Catherine of SienaTo a brave man, good and bad luck are like his left and right hand. He uses both.
St. Catherine of SienaOh, let us lose our milk teeth and cut instead the strong teeth of hate and love.
St. Catherine of SienaWe were enclosed, O eternal Father, within the garden of your breast. You drew us out of your holy mind like a flower petaled with our soul's three powers and into each power you put the whole plant, so that they might bear fruit in your garden, might come back to you with the fruit you gave them. And you would come back to the soul, to fill her with your blessedness. There the soul dwells like the fish in the sea and the sea in the fish.
