Oh, let us lose our milk teeth and cut instead the strong teeth of hate and love.
St. Catherine of SienaYou must believe in truth that whatever God gives or permits is for your salvation.
St. Catherine of SienaHe will provide the way and the means, such as you could never have imagined. Leave it all to Him, let go of yourself, lose yourself on the Cross, and you will find yourself entirely.
St. Catherine of SienaYou are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.
St. Catherine of SienaAnd let the truth be your delight...Proclaim it..., but with a certain congeniality.
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.
St. Catherine of Siena
