Words for Beginnings

“When we dream alone, it is only a dream. But when we dream together, it is the beginning of reality.” -- Brazilian Proverb

“Religious ideas have no value at all if they are not practical and positive. Religion is meant for acting more than thinking.” -- Blessed Frederic Ozanam

“It is not enough for me that God has given me grace once, but he must give it always. I ask, that I may receive; and when I have received, I ask again. I am covetous of receiving God’s bounty. He is never slow in giving, nor am I ever weary of receiving. The more I drink, the more thirsty I become.” -- St. Jerome

“Few souls understand what God would accomplish in them if they were to abandon themselves unreservedly to Him and if they were to allow His grace to mold them accordingly.” -- St. Ignatius Loyola
