People who suffer beyond the formulas of expression,- who are crushed into silence, and beyond pain,- want no display of emotion,- no bleeding heart,- no weeping at the foot of the Cross,- no hysterics,- no phrases! They want to see God, and to know that he is watching over his own. (Henry Adams)

People who suffer beyond the formulas of expression,- who are crushed into silence, and beyond pain,- want no display of emotion,- no bleeding heart,- no weeping at the foot of the Cross,- no hysterics,- no phrases! They want to see God, and to know that he is watching over his own.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these.
T. S. Eliot
Some suffer much from poverty and sickness, but are not humbled, and so they suffer without profit. But one who is humbled will be happy in all circumstances, because the Lord is his riches and joy, and all people will wonder at the beauty of his soul.
Silouan the Athonite
The Lord loves all people, but He loves those who seek Him even more. To his chosen ones the Lord gives such great grace that for love they forsake the whole earth, the whole world, and their souls burn with desire that all people might be saved and see the glory of the Lord.
Silouan the Athonite
It is not possible to represent and to think of the cross without love. Where the cross is, there is love. In church you see crosses everywhere and on everything, in order that everything should remind you that you are in the temple of the God of love, the temple of love crucified for us.
John of Kronstadt
Remember that God, during your prayers, is watching for your affirmative answer to the question which He is inwardly asking you: 'Do you believe I am able to do this?' To which question you must from the depth of your heart reply, 'Yes, Lord'
John of Kronstadt
