“It is for the slow martyrdom of patience that the spirit of a woman is particularly fitted.” 🔥

“To be loved by God is to be made beautiful, and to be beautiful imposes the responsibility to live beautifully. You are trusted by God with this vocation, trusted to go on making a response to it all your life. You believe that you, poor little one that you are, are trusted by God, made strong by his love to do this, just as you are made beautiful by his cherishing and tenderness.”

“There is no better thing to do with one’s life than to break it…and let it run over Christ and His Church.”

“The ballerina is always leaning back against her
partner. True, on occasion, he twirls her away, but only to reclaim her. The danseur never twirls the ballerina away to be rid of her, but only to reclaim her, and so the very spinning away is a beautiful thing, because she is coming right back.”

“A woman is never so psychologically insecure as when she is self-absorbed.”

“There is, after all, no basic difference between the woman too occupied with her social life or her career to be a mother to her children, and the religious woman too occupied with self-perfecting or pet projects to be a font of maternal compassion for others.”

Tell it like it is Mother Mary Francis!!

“Saint Catherine of Siena, when she was tormented by many temptations, cried out to the tempter, ‘But the citadel is taken!’ A little hymn I wrote once for sisters making solemn vows had this line in it: ‘I have been spoken for by the Lord, most High King…’”

I have been spoken for…

“‘Whatever you say!’ is the word of the bride to the Beloved.”
