With God, every moment is the moment of beginning again.

The most practical Catherine Doherty quotes you will be delighted to read
Real zeal is standing still and letting God be a bonfire in you.
Faith brings into our lives such freedom, such love, such peace, and such joy that there are no words in any language that can explain it. You have to have it in order to know it. You have to experience it in order to understand it. Faith liberates. It liberates love and hope. If I am free to love and free to hope, what more do I want of life?
Faith allows us to enter peacefully into the dark night which faces every one of us at one time or another.
With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing.
Faith walks simply, childlike, between the darkness of human life and the hope of what is to come.
What binds us together is love, and only love. For love is a Person. Love is God.
We need to be poor! Let us live an ordinary life, but, beloved, let us live it with a passionate love for God. Become a mystery. Stretch one hand out to God, the other to your neighbour. Be cruciform. … Christ’s cross will be our revolution and it will be a revolution of love!
Faith is contagious when we show it to one another.
Faith sees God's face in every human face.
Acquire inner peace and a multitude will find their salvation near you.
God reveals himself to those who wait for that revelation, and who don't try to tear at the hem of a mystery, forcing disclosure.
Faith considers that its precariousness and its finiteness are but the womb in which it abides, moving toward the plenitude and fullness of the eternity which it desires and believes in and which revelation opens to it.
Love... love... love, never counting the cost.
A saint is a sinner who loves; it's that simple!
True silence is a garden enclosed, where alone the soul can meet its God.
Faith is fudamentally a kind of folly.
Preach the Gospel with your life — without compromise!
Purity of heart is love for the weak who constantly fall.
Every meal should be prepared with love and eaten in peace, because its purpose is to strengthen us for the service of Love.
True silence is the speech of lovers.
I go to my past in order to discern the future.
What you do matters — but not much. What you are matters tremendously.
It is so important for us to have faith, trust, confidence in one another.
It is the only way we can communicate. Without faith there is no communication, there is no love, or if there was a little love it will die without hope, trust, and confidence. Even if it doesn't die right away, it will be so ill, so weak, and so tired that communication will be miserable as well.
We do not have to wait for the hereafter - it is now that we are one with Christ.
Listen to God's speech in his wondrous, terrible, gentle, loving, all-embracing silence.
She who received the seed of eternal glory Now dispenses grace, the seed of glory-to-come. My womb was the chalice of the impenetration of God That became the Incarnation of God and man
To pass through the door that leads to God's kingdom, we must go down on our knees.
We do not go to mission lands to 'bring Jesus Christ' as much as to uncover him where he already is.
Lord, give me the heart of a child, and the awesome courage to live it out as an adult.
