The saints had so much wisdom!

During this stressful time in our country, I’d like to provide 15 saint quotes to help give your heart peace through anxiety.

Here’s 10 encouraging saint quotes to help provide peace in difficult times:

1) “Lay all your cares about the future trustingly in God’s hands, and let yourself be guided by the Lord just like a little child.”

– St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (St. Edith Stein)

2) “Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
“Be at peace, then, put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations, and say continually: ‘The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart has trusted in Him and I am helped. He is not only with me but in me and I in Him.'”

– Saint Francis de Sales

3) “Don’t spend your energies on things that generate worry, anxiety, and anguish. Only one thing is necessary: Lift up your spirit and love God.”
– St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

4) ”And of what should we be afraid? Our captain on this battlefield is Christ Jesus. We have discovered what we have to do. Christ has bound our enemies for us and weakened them that they cannot overcome us unless we so choose to let them. So we must fight courageously and mark ourselves with the sign of the most Holy Cross.”
– St. Catherine of Siena

I especially like this one ...

“Do not look forward in fear to the changes in life;
rather, look to them with full hope that as they arise,
God, whose very own you are,
will lead you safely through all things;
and when you cannot stand it,
God will carry you in His arms.

Do not fear what may happen tomorrow;
the same understanding Father who cares for
you today will take care of you then and every day.

He will either shield you from suffering
or will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.”

– St. Francis de Sales
