Famous Quotes about contemplation

Thomas Merton quote #468 from The Seven Storey Mountain

Whether you teach or live in the cloister or nurse the sick whether you are in religion or out of it married or single no matter who you are or what you are you are called to the summit of perfection you are called to a deep interior life perhaps even to mystical prayer and to pass the fruits of your contemplation on to others. And if you cannot do so by word then by example.Yet if this sublime fire of infused love burns in your soul it will inevitably send forth throughout the Church and the world an influence more tremendous than could be estimated by the radius reached by words or by example.

Thomas à Kempis quote #267 from The Imitation of Christ

If you cannot recollect yourself continuously do so once a day at least in the morning or in the evening. In the morning make a resolution and in the evening examine yourself on what you have said this day what you have done and thought for in these things perhaps you have often offended God and those about you.

Shannon L. Alder famous quote #60

What if you were wrong What if everything you ever believed was a lie What if you missed your opportunity because you didnt know your worth What if you settled on familiar but God was trying to give you something better What if you decided not to go backwards but forward What if doing what you have never done before was the answer to everything that didnt make sense What if the answer wasnt to be found in words but in action What if you found the courage to do what you really wanted to do and doing it changed your whole life
