Strive to see God in all thing...

Strive to see God in all things without exception. Do not smother yourself...If you start smothering yourself with a host of cares and longings and wishes ... you will be disabling yourself from serving God with all your heart.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

If you have to do with one who...

If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.

To just read the Bible, attend...

To just read the Bible, attend church, and avoid 'bigЂќ sins-is this passionate, wholehearted love for God?

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The damned are in the abyss of...

The damned are in the abyss of Hell, as within a woeful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments, in all their senses and members, because as they have employed all their senses and their members in sinning, so shall they suffer in each of them the punishment due to sin.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

A heart-memory is better than ...

A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

God has not chosen to save us ...

God has not chosen to save us without crosses; as He has not seen fit to create men at once in the full vigor of manhood, but has suffered them to grow up by degrees amid all the perils and weaknesses of youth.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Oh! how seldom the soul is sil...

Oh! how seldom the soul is silent, in order that God may speak.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

No more restless uncertainties...

No more restless uncertainties, no more anxious desires, no more impatience at the place we are in; for it is God who has placed us there, and who holds us in his arms. Can we be unsafe where he has placed us?

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Good taste rejects excessive n...

Good taste rejects excessive nicety.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

On this earth all is temptatio...

On this earth all is temptation. Crosses tempt us by irritating our pride, and prosperity by flattering it. Our life is a continual combat, but one in which Jesus Christ fights for us. We must pass on unmoved, while temptations rage around us, as the traveler, overtaken by a storm, simply wraps his cloak more closely about him, and pushes on more vigorously toward his destined home.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

God, who is liberal in all his...

God, who is liberal in all his other gifts, shows us, by the wise economy of His providence, how circumspect we ought to be in the management of our time, for He never gives us two moments together.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Time is given us that we may t...

Time is given us that we may take care for eternity; and eternity will not be too long to regret the loss of our time if we have misspent it.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Let us often think of our own ...

Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we shall become indulgent toward those of others.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The greater our dread of cross...

The greater our dread of crosses, the more necessary they are for us.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

I had often heard Mentor say, ...

I had often heard Mentor say, that the voluptuous were never brave, and I now found by experience that it was true; for the Cyprians whose jollity had been so extravagant and tumultuous, now sunk under a sense of their danger and wept like women. I heard nothing but the screams of terror and the wailings of hopeless distress. Some lamented the loss of pleasures that were never to return; but none had presence of mind either to undertake or direct the navigation of the menaced vessel.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The youth who, like a woman, l...

The youth who, like a woman, loves to adorn his person, has renounced all claim to wisdom and to glory; glory is due to those only who dare to associate with pain, and have trampled pleasure under their feet.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Commit yourself then to God! H...

Commit yourself then to God! He will be your guide. He Himself will travel with you, as we are told He did with the Israelites, to bring them step by step across the desert to the promised land. Ah! what will be your blessedness, if you will but surrender yourself into the hands of God, permitting Him to do whatever He will, not according to your desires, but according to His own good pleasure?

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

There are two principal points...

There are two principal points of attention necessary for the preservation of this constant spirit of prayer which unites us with God; we must continually seek to cherish it, and we must avoid everything that tends to make us lose it.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Crosses are of no use to us bu...

Crosses are of no use to us but inasmuch as we yield ourselves up to them and forget ourselves.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

There is no real elevation of ...

There is no real elevation of mind in a contempt of little things; it is, on the contrary, from too narrow views that we consider those things of little importance which have in fact such extensive consequences.
