― St. Catherine of Siena

“But he did say that he believed the fair Lord of life had accepted a death so shameful by deliberate intent of love, so that nothing that can happen to the body should cause any man to feel himself separated from God. And he said further that fearful though the sight was, it was not what he saw that made him cast himself down upon the ground, with his face hidden in the grass, and weep. It was that the Lord of heaven, giving Himself into the hands of men, that is to say into his hands, to do with what he would, had by his hands been broken. This he said he had never sufficiently considered, and now, considering it, his heart broke.”
― Elizabeth Goudge, The Scent of Water

“Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.”
― St. Therese of Lisieux

“Jesus is God drawn close to our wounded humanity, so close that he takes it upon himself—not merely in some general way but in a way that encompasses each one of us.”
― John Janaro, Never Give Up: My Life and God's Mercy
