Grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;

For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.”

St. Francis of Assisi

“We must have a real living determination to reach holiness. ”I will be a saint” means I will despoil myself of all that is not God; I will strip my heart of all created things; I will live in poverty and detachment; I will renounce my will, my inclinations, my whims and fancies, and make myself a willing slave to the will of God.”

Mother Teresa 1910-1997, Albanian-born Roman Catholic Missionary
