Lectio Divina

“God loves your effort, not your perfection.” -St. Paisios of Mt. Athos

“The splendour of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.” -St Therese of Lisieux

“Contemplation is naught else than a secret, peaceful and loving infusion from God, which, if it be permitted, enkindles the soul with the spirit of love.” -Saint John of the Cross
