“Should you fall even fifty times a day, never on any account should that surprise or worry you. Instead, ever so gently set your heart back in the right direction and practice the opposite virtue, all the time speaking words of love and trust to our Lord after you have committed a thousand faults, as much as if you had committed only one. Once we have humbled ourselves for the faults God allows us to become aware of in ourselves, we must forget them and go forward.” - St. Jane Frances de Chantal
 
I’ll add my own quote that I like.

“Do not look forward to the trials and crosses of this life and fear. Rather, look to them with full confidence that, as they arise, God, to whom you belong, will deliver you from them. He has guided and guarded you this far in life. Do you but hold fast to His hand, and he will lead you safely through all trials. Whenever you cannot stand, he will carry you lovingly in his arms. Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same Eternal Father who cares for you today will take good care of you tomorrow and every day of your life. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you the unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace then and put aside all useless thoughts, vain dreads, and anxious imaginations.” - St. Francis de Sales
 
Thanks for both quotes, very nice. 🙂

I had not heard the St. Francis de Sales one in its entirety.
 
Thank you for sharing. The two saints were close friends. I believe St. Francis de Sales was St. Frances de Chantal’s spiritual director.
 
Great quote, Pelagia!🙂 You should start a quotes thread in The Water Cooler.
