Charity and devotion differ no...

Charity and devotion differ no more, the one from the other, than the flame from the fire.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

That love of self, which the w...

That love of self, which the world advocates, is a thousand times more dangerous than any poison.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Simplicity brings back the joy...

Simplicity brings back the joys of Paradise. Not that we have pure pleasure without a moment's suffering, but when we are surrendered to God, we are not grasping for pleasure, and even our troubles are received with thanksgiving. This inner harmony, and this deliverance from fear and the tormenting desires of self, create a satisfaction in the soul which is above all the intoxicating joys of this world put together.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

When we are truly in this inte...

When we are truly in this interior simplicity our whole appearance is franker, more natural. This true simplicity. . . makes us conscious of a certain openness, gentleness, innocence, gaiety, and serenity. O, how amiable this simplicity is! Who will give it to me? I leave all for this. It is the pearl of the Gospel.

There is no more dangerous illusion than the fancies by which people try to avoid illusion.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Do not look forward to the cha...

Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear; rather look to them with full hope that, as they arise, God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He is your keeper. He has kept you hitherto. Do you but hold fast to his dear hand, and he will lead you safely through all things; and, when you cannot stand, he will bear you in his arms. Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. Our Father will either shield you from suffering, or he will give you strength to bear it.

To love our neighbor in charity is to love God in man.

Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.

He who complains, sins.

The blood of a nation ought never to be shed except for its own preservation in the utmost extremity.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Nothing will make us so charit...

Nothing will make us so charitable and tender to the faults of others, as, by self-examination, thoroughly to know our own.

To pray is to desire; but it is to desire what God would have us desire.

One single day of devotion is worth more than a thousand years of worldly life.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

Represent to yourself a dark c...

Represent to yourself a dark city all burning and stinking with fire and brimstone. The damned are in the depth of hell within this woful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments in all their senses and members. Consider above all the eternity of their pains, which above all things makes hell intolerable.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

So long as we are full of self...

So long as we are full of self we are shocked at the faults of others. Let us think often of our own sin, and we shall be lenient to the sins of others.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

It is not the multitude of har...

It is not the multitude of hard duties, it is not the constraint and contention that advance us in our Christian course. On the contrary, it is the yielding of our wills without restriction and without choice to tread cheerfully every day in the path in which Providence leads us. It is to seek nothing, to be discouraged by nothing, to see our duty in the present moment, and to trust all else without reserve to the will and power of God.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

We must truly serve those whom...

We must truly serve those whom we appear to command; we must bear with their imperfections, correct them with gentleness and patience, and lead them in the way to heaven.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

There is nothing small in the service of God.

Fransua Fenelon 248 quotes

It is not those who commit the...

It is not those who commit the least faults who are the most holy, but those who have the greatest courage, the greatest generosity, the greatest love, who make the boldest efforts to overcome themselves, and are not immediately apprehensive about tripping.
