"It is that much harder to let what belongs to us be taken without asking for it back. But the moment we accept this, we feel how light [the burden] is."
Saint Teresa of Avila
"At the center of the castle is God's dwelling place. The gate is prayer, prayer is a door thats opens up into the mystery of God and at the same time a means of communing with HIM, it actuates the personal relationship with the LORD present in the very depths of the Spirit" - Interior Castle by st. teresa of avila
Saint John of the Cross
" The soul that desires God to surrender himself to it entirely, must surrender itself entirely to Him without keeping anything for itself."
St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
"I even believe that the deeper one is drawn into God, the more one must 'go out of oneself'; that is, one must go to the world in order to carry the divine life into it."
Saint Padre Pio
I have often raised my hand in the silence of the night and in my solitary cell, blessing you all and presenting you to Jesus and to our father, St. Francis of Assisi. "Pray, pray to the Lord with me, because the whole world needs prayer. And every day, when your heart especially feels the loneliness of life, pray. Pray to the Lord, because even God needs our prayers."
Saint Faustina Kowalska
"I feel certain that my mission will not come to an end upon my death, but will begin. O doubting souls, I will draw aside for you the veils of heaven to convince you go God's goodness." (Diary entry 281)
Saint Martin de Porres
On the lighter side, often we see Martin pictured in his Dominican habit holding a broom, with a mouse and dog at his feet. There is an interesting anectdote about mice. One time there seemed to be a mouse "convention" in the wardrobe room of the monastery, where they feasted on the finest linen garments and sheets, leaving the old ones untouched. Some of the monks wanted to poison the rodents, but Martin would not hear of it. One day he caught a little mouse and held him gently, and said, "Little brother, why are you and your companions doing so much harm to the things belonging to the sick? Look; I shall not kill you, but you are to assemble all your friends and lead them to the far end of the garden. Everyday I will bring you food if you leave the wardrobe alone," After Martin let go of the mouse, there was scurrying from every nook and cranny and the procession started towards the monastery garden. Martin, tall and slender, with long strides, led the mice to their new home. Everyday he brought them a meal and no mouse ever set claw or tooth in the monastery wardrobe.
