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

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

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

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.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

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

Should we feel at times dishea...

Should we feel at times disheartened and discouraged, a simple movement of heart toward God will renew our powers. Whatever he may demand of us, he will give us at the moment the strength and courage that we need.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The more you say, the less peo...

The more you say, the less people remember.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Peace does not dwell in outwar...

Peace does not dwell in outward things but within the soul; we may preserve it in the midst of the bitterest pain, if our will remains firm and submissive. Peace in this life springs from acquiescence to, not an exemption from, suffering.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The wind of God is always blow...

The wind of God is always blowing... but you must hoist your sail.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

It is right that you should be...

It is right that you should begin again every day. There is no better way to complete the spiritual life than to be ever beginning it over again.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The merit of the cross does no...

The merit of the cross does not consist in its heaviness, but in the manner in which we carry it. I would even say that it is sometimes more virtuous to carry a cross of straw than a heavy cross because we have to be more attentive for fear of losing it.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The test of a preacher is that...

The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.'

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

He who stays not in his little...

He who stays not in his littleness, loses his greatness.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Have patience to walk with sho...

Have patience to walk with short steps until you have wings to fly.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

True prayer is only another na...

True prayer is only another name for the love of God. Its excellence does not consist in the multitude of our words; for our Father knoweth what things we have need of before we ask Him. The true prayer is that of the heart, and the heart prays only for what it desires. To pray, then is to desire -- but to desire what God would have us desire. He who asks what he does not from the bottom of his heart desire, is mistaken in thinking that he prays.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

The gifts of God are not to be...

The gifts of God are not to be rejected on account of the channel that brings them.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

It matters little how one begi...

It matters little how one begins, provided that he be resolved to go on well, and to end well.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

One rarely does well what one ...

One rarely does well what one rarely does.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Nothing is more false and more...

Nothing is more false and more indiscreet than always to want to choose what mortifies us in everything. By this rule a person would soon ruin his health, his business, his reputation, his relations with his relatives and friends, in fact every good work which Providence gives him.

Every vocation becomes more agreeable when united with devotion.
