I’ve accumulated many great quotes from books, conferences, talks/sermons, and every day conversation that I take with me in my day-to-day life! I want to share my favorites with you!
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-11
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace
Quote from St. Irenaeus
“The glory of God is the human person fully alive!”
What is Love? ~ Sarah Swafford, Emotional Virtue
“Love actually is a great act of the will. It’s when I say, “I desire your good, not for my sake but for yours.”
A Letter to Missionaries of Charity ~ St. Mother Theresa
“Not only [does Jesus] love you, but even more – He longs for you. He misses you when you don’t come close. He thirsts for you. He loves you always, even when you don’t feel worthy.”
Thoughts from a Young Priest ~ Sarah Swafford, Emotional Virtue
“I want you to run, run to Jesus, and I want you to take everything you are feeling, everything you are worried about, your past, your pain, and I want you to lay it all down at His feet. Put everything in a box and drop it off at His feet. You don’t have to carry it anymore. Fall into His arms and let Him love you and forgive you; and when you are strong, and whole, and you have been healing, I want you to run with Him; and when the time is right, glance to the side and see who is running with you.”
