Quotes <strong>for</strong> Lent<br />
“The proof of love is in the works. Where love exists, it works great things.<br />
But when it ceases to act, it ceases to exist.”<br />
Pope St. Gregory the Great<br />
During these 40 days, let me put away all my pride.<br />
Let me change my heart <strong>and</strong> give up all that is <strong>not</strong> good within me.<br />
Let me love God with all that I am <strong>and</strong> all that I have.”<br />
Genesis Grain<br />
“It is <strong>not</strong> just about giving up our favourite food but its about going further <strong>and</strong> giving up things like hatred<br />
<strong>and</strong> un<strong>for</strong>giveness. You need to clean your heart <strong>and</strong> prepare yourself <strong>for</strong> purity.”<br />
Am<strong>and</strong>a Jobs<br />
“The Lord measures out perfection neither by the multitude nor the magnitude of our deeds,<br />
but by the manner in which we per<strong>for</strong>m them.”<br />
Saint John of the Cross<br />
“We all suffer <strong>for</strong> each other, <strong>and</strong> gain by each other’s suffering; <strong>for</strong> man never st<strong>and</strong>s alone here,<br />
though he will st<strong>and</strong> alone hereafter; but here is he is a social being,<br />
<strong>and</strong> goes <strong>for</strong>ward to his long home as one of a large company.”<br />
Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman<br />
“As Lent is the time <strong>for</strong> greater love, listen to Jesus’ thirst…’Repent <strong>and</strong> believe’ Jesus tells us.<br />
What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of heart. What are we to believe?<br />
Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart <strong>and</strong> in the poor – He knows your weakness.<br />
He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.”<br />
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta<br />
“The Gospel is the real antidotes <strong>for</strong> spiritual; destitution:<br />
wherever we go, we are called as Christians to proclaim the liberating news<br />
that <strong>for</strong>giveness <strong>for</strong> sins committed is possible,<br />
that God is greater than our sinfulness, that he freely loves us at all times<br />
<strong>and</strong> that we were made <strong>for</strong> communion with him <strong>and</strong> eternal life.<br />
The Lord asks us to be joyous heralds of this message of mercy <strong>and</strong> hope”.<br />
Pope Francis<br />
