Soul Scribe

The words of wise men are heard in quiet.

Ecclesiastes 9:17

God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain.

C.S. Lewis

You know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love at which we do them.

St. Therese of Lisieux, The Little Flower (1873-1897)

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar, but on the lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.  You eye is the lamp of your body.  If your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light; but if it is not healthy, your body is full of darkness.

Luke 11:33-34

New Revised Standard Version

Keep watching the wind and you will never sow, keep staring at the clouds and you will never reap.

Ecclesiastes 11:4

New Jerusalem Bible

God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence.

We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Faith is like a river, ever flowing towards God.  As the water, we must quench our desire to change course.  To grow faith and strengthen it, we must water the seed within us.

Learning about God and our beliefs is crucial to keeping our faith healthy – without this, it is easy for our faith to fall by the wayside or to leave us when times get tough.  If you open yourself to growing your faith – that strength will stay with you through the darkest of nights.

Remember to see God and learn about him in your daily life.  He is there, not in the obvious, but in the smallest moment.  You must be open to his call.  It makes the darkness bright.

Now come, write it on a tablet they can keep, inscribe it in a record; That it may be in future days an eternal witness: This is a rebellious people, deceitful children, Children who refuse to obey the law of the LORD. They say to the seers, “Have no visions”; to the prophets, “Do not descry for us what is right; speak flatteries to us, conjure up illusions. Out of the way! Out of our path! Let us hear no more of the Holy One of Israel.”

Isaiah 30: 8-11

New American Bible

Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart.

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
