Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again.
From Evelyn Underhill
There is no place in my soul, no corner of my character, where God is not.
Deliberately seek opportunities for kindness, sympathy, and patience.
God is always coming to you in the Sacrament of the Present Moment. Meet and receive Him there with gratitude in that sacrament.
In my relations with my father, which are difficult and where I'm often met by coolness and indifference, I am constantly tempted to be cold and indifferent. Yet I know that this is a test if I could take it rightly.
All things are perceived in the light of charity, and hence under the aspect of beauty; for beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love.
After all it is those who have a deep and real inner life who are best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life.
You don't have to be peculiar to find God.
Adoration is caring for God above all else.
Try to arrange things so that you can have a reasonable bit of quiet every day.
