As St. Pio of Pietrelcina once said,”a soul that trusts in God need to fear nothing.”
Newsroom (24/02/2022 15:05, Gaudium Press) Many of the evils we live with today (anxiety, depression, nervous illnesses, etc.) would indeed become less significant if we practiced the virtue of trust in Divine Providence more assiduously.
Our editorial staff has selected some phrases of saints, from different times, about this most critical virtue. We hope they will serve as inspiration and solace in a world plunged in hopelessness, terror and fear.
01 – “The more we trust God, the more we progress in his love.” (St. Vincent de Paul)
02 – “From trust springs in the saints that unalterable tranquility, which made them always cheerful and quiet, even in the midst of contrarieties.” (Saint Alphonsus de Liguori)
03 – “To cease trusting in God would be a far more terrible thing than any physical evil.” (St. Francis Xavier)
04 – “The soul that trusts in God need fear nothing.” (St. Pio of Pietrelcina)
05 – “All efforts are of little worth, if we do not stop trusting in ourselves in order to trust in God alone.” (St. Teresa)
06 – “All those wanting to overcome temptations, do not trust in themselves, but all the more in God.” (St. Anthony of the Desert)
07 – “those who run on the road to perfection possess a heart dilated in trust in God.” (St. Alphonsus de Liguori)
08 – “It is not in humans that we must trust, but in God who is everything and who does everything.” (Saint Marcellin Champagnat)
09 – “Let us always place our trust in the Holy Spirit, to discover in every new situation an occasion to extend the redeeming love of Christ.” (St. John Paul II)
10 – “Trust in Divine Providence is the firm belief that God can and will help us. That He can help us is evident, for He is omnipotent. That He will help us, is sure, because He, in many passages of Holy Scripture, has promised and been faithful to all His promises.” (St. Teresa of Calcutta). (EPC)
