The
days are coming when men will go mad; and, when they meet a man who
has kept his senses, they will rise up against him, saying, “You
are mad, because you are not like us.”

Saint Charles Borromeo Quote
Would
you like me to teach you how to grow from virtue to virtue and how,
if you are already recollected at prayer, you can be even more
attentive next time, and so give God more pleasing worship? Listen,
and I will tell you. If a tiny spark of God's love already burns
within you, do not expose it to the wind, for it may get blown out.
Keep the stove tightly shut so that it will not lose its heat and
grow cold. In other words, avoid distractions as well as you can.
Stay quiet with God. Do not spend your time in useless chatter.

Saint Macarius of Egypt Quote
Lord,
be merciful now that my life is approaching its end, and the evening
awaits me. There is not enough time for me to cleanse myself of my
sins, for they are so many. Heal me while I am still on earth, and I
shall be truly healthy. In your mercy, move me to repent so that I
shall not be ashamed when I meet you in heaven.

Saint Hilary of Poitiers Quote
Lord,
I pray Thee let not my weakness distract me, but let my speech be of
that alone in which the salvation of my soul consists; and let me
never break forth to that degree both of folly and wickedness, as to
wish to be a judge of Thy omnipotence, and of Thy sacraments; and
suffer me not to exalt my weak opinion above either the divine
determination of Thy infinity, or that belief of Thy eternity which
has been revealed to me. Amen.
