“He wants you entirely for Himself, He wants you to place all your trust and all your affection in Him alone and it is precisely for this reason that He sends you this spiritual aridity, to unite you more closely to Him.” - St. Padre Pio
"We will be the happiest people in the world if we belong to God, if we place ourselves at His disposal, if we let Him use us as He pleases." -
St. Teresa of Calcutta
