Tonight’s blog is full of saintly advice meant to lift the spirit and encourage the reader. Undoubtedly, it has been a long, arduous week (although the sinus infection has abated) and it’s only Wednesday. I’ve written before about getting caught up in life and forgetting to feed our souls. For me, my yoga practice has been key in re-centering my mindset and my focus. Here are some wise words to inspire your practice or your day.
“Fortitude is the disposition of soul which enables us to despise all inconveniences and the loss of things not in our power.” –St. Augustine
“Our body has this defect that, the more it is provided care and comforts, the more needs and desires it finds.” –St. Teresa of Avila
“A scrap of knowledge about sublime things is worth more than any amount about trivialities.” –St. Thomas Aquinas
“Joy is a net of love by which we catch souls.” -Mother Teresa
“It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.” -Saint Augustine
I love these quotes that focus on perseverance, humility, joy, love and knowledge. Mother Teresa’s quote is fantastic and easily incorporated into every day life. Make it a point to make someone smile. It could be through a compliment, a simple smile or a good deed. I guarantee you making someone’s day brighter will fill you with joy.
I’ve peppered tonight’s blog with pictures of saintly places both natural and man-made from our Norway trip last summer. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed experiencing the places.
Tonight’s song is “Halleluja” performed by Pentatonix.
