CATHERINE DOHERTY

Lord, give bread to the hungry, and hunger … to those who have bread.

We need to be poor! Let us live an ordinary life, but, beloved, let us live it with a passionate love for God. Become a mystery. Stretch one hand out to God, the other to your neighbour. Be cruciform. … Christ’s cross will be our revolution and it will be a revolution of love!

Faith sees God's face in every human face.

Faith is fudamentally a kind of folly.

Preach the Gospel with your life — without compromise!

With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing.

We do not have to wait for the hereafter - it is now that we are one with Christ.

Faith allows us to enter peacefully into the dark night which faces every one of us at one time or another.

With God, every moment is the moment of beginning again.

She who received the seed of eternal glory Now dispenses grace, the seed of glory-to-come. My womb was the chalice of the impenetration of God That became the Incarnation of God and man

Faith brings into our lives such freedom, such love, such peace, and such joy that there are no words in any language that can explain it. You have to have it in order to know it. You have to experience it in order to understand it. Faith liberates. It liberates love and hope. If I am free to love and free to hope, what more do I want of life?

What binds us together is love, and only love. For love is a Person. Love is God.

We do not go to mission lands to 'bring Jesus Christ' as much as to uncover him where he already is.

True silence is a garden enclosed, where alone the soul can meet its God.

True silence is the speech of lovers.

Love... love... love, never counting the cost.

To pass through the door that leads to God's kingdom, we must go down on our knees.

What you do matters — but not much. What you are matters tremendously.

Pain is the kiss of Christ.

Faith considers that its precariousness and its finiteness are but the womb in which it abides, moving toward the plenitude and fullness of the eternity which it desires and believes in and which revelation opens to it.

I go to my past in order to discern the future.

Purity of heart is love for the weak who constantly fall.

Faith is contagious when we show it to one another.

God reveals himself to those who wait for that revelation, and who don't try to tear at the hem of a mystery, forcing disclosure.

Every meal should be prepared with love and eaten in peace, because its purpose is to strengthen us for the service of Love.
