The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.
St. JeromeIf then you remain constant in faith in the face of trial, the Lord will give you peace and rest for a time in this world, and forever in the next.
St. JeromeFor it is good to cleave to God, and to put our hopes in the Lord, so that, when we have exchanged this poor life for the kingdom of heaven, we may cry aloud: 'Whom have I in heaven but thee? There is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.' Assuredly, when we have found such wealth in heaven, we may well grieve to have sought after poor passing pleasures here on earth.
St. Jerome
