Ascension Slide Show with Meditation Quotes from the Saints


"What makes the soul stronger in God and fortifies it is love... I live in a state of great langour. Love has done this because the more something is loved, the more one desires that it be possessed. Moreover,...this love generates a great zeal in me... If you keep your eyes fixed on Him, your entire soul will be set ablaze. But, if you are not doing so, strive with all your being to fix your eyes on Him and keep them there."

~ Blessed Angela of Foligno

Blessed Angela (+1309) was a wife and mother who later became a Franciscan Tertiary and an esteemed mystical writer.

~ Adapted from the Magnificat, May, 2007

"Keep your eyes fixed on Him who is your guide to the heavenly country, where He is leading you. What does it matter to you whether Jesus wishes to guide you to Heaven by way of the desert or by the meadow, so long as He is always with you and you arrive at the possession of a blessed eternity?"

~ St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

"Look upon the beauty of your Lover."

~ St. Augustine
