Quotes from St. John Henry Newman

O my Lord and Savior ... If You bring pain or sorrow on me, give me grace to bear it well - keep me from fretfulness and selfishness. If You give me health and strength and success in this world, keep me always on my guard, lest these great gifts carry me away from You.

O my Lord and Savior, in Your arms I am safe. Keep me and I have nothing to fear. . . . I know nothing about the future, but I rely upon You. I pray that You would give me what is good for me.
