From the memorial of Mary Mother of the Church to the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, here are the quotes posted this week to social media (Facebook, Instagram, X).

A poor, humble, integral Church, in love with the Bridegroom and in the service of humankind… will be made by contemplatives who are made in Mary’s image. They do not run away; they are not of the deserters. They live in Nazareth, in a tiny village or a large city of the age, discovering there the hidden meaning of things which seem small and common, and yet are the very message of God. — Arturo Paoli

The more closely a soul is held captive by love, the more she is identified with all humanity, for love causes her to enter into all suffering wherever souls are to be saved. — Saint Teresa of Calcutta

A well-ordered exterior results from an awareness of God’s presence. — Saint Jane Frances de Chantal

If you have a light, and the whole world should come to you in order to take light from it—the light itself does not diminish—and yet each person has it all. — Saint Catherine of Siena

The divine life is tri-personal life. It is the overflowing love with which the Father begets the Son and surrenders to him his own being, while the Son embraces this being and surrenders it back to the Father, the love in which Father and Son are One, which they breathe out together as their Spirit. Through grace this Spirit is poured out into hearts. Thus the soul lives her life of grace through this Holy Spirit. In him she loves the Father with the love of the Son and the Son with the love of the Father. — Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity
