“I want to be your donkey. I want to be patient, hardworking, and faithful… May your donkey, Jesus, get such control over his poor asinine sensuality that he doesn’t respond to the spurs with kicks, that he carries his load with delight, and that his thoughts and his braying and his work are saturated with your Love. All for Love!” - St. Josemaria Escriva

“And when we give each other Christmas gifts in His name, let us remember that He has given us the sun and the moon and the stars, and the earth with its forests and mountains and oceans–and all that lives and move upon them. He has given us all green things and everything that blossoms and bears fruit and all that we quarrel about and all that we have misused–and to save us from our foolishness, from all our sins, He came down to earth and gave us Himself.” - Sigrid Undset
