Frederick William Faber Quotes About Soul

• Ahora son los días, de la oración más humilde,
  cuando las conciencias se desnudan ante Dios,
  y la misericordia se deleita en perdonar.
  Oh, escucha cuando clamamos.
  Ahora es la estación, sabiamente larga,
  de pensamientos más tristes y canciones más graves,
  Cuando las almas enfermas crecen sanas y fuertes.
  Oh, escucha cuando lloramos.
  ¡La fiesta de la penitencia! Oh tan brillante,
  con la luz celestial de la verdadera conversión,
  ¡Como el amanecer después de una noche tormentosa!
  Oh, escucha cuando lloramos.
  Oh tiempo feliz de lágrimas benditas,
  de esperanzas más seguras, de temores escarmentados,
  Deshaciendo todos nuestros malos años.
  Oh, escucha cuando lloramos.
  Castíguenos con tu temor;
  Pero, Padre, en la multitud
  de tu compasión, ¡escucha!

• The Blessed Sacrament is the magnet of souls. There is a mutual attraction between Jesus and the souls of men. Mary drew Him down from heaven. Our nature attracted Him rather than the nature of angels. Our misery caused Him to stoop to our lowness. Even our sins had a sort of attraction for the abundance of His mercy and the predilection of His grace. Our repentance wins Him to us. Our love makes earth a paradise to Him; and our souls lure Him as gold lures the miser, with irresistible fascination

• He draws us to Himself by grace, by example, by power, by lovingness, by beauty, by pardon, and above all by the Blessed Sacrament. Every one who has had anything to do with ministering to souls has seen the power which Jesus has. Talent is not needed. Eloquence is comparatively unattractive. Learning is often beside the mark. Controversy simply repels... All the attraction of the Church is in Jesus, and His chief attraction is the Blessed Sacrament

• Small things are best: Grief and unrest To rank and wealth are given; But little things On little wings Bear little souls to Heaven.
