Whether each of the faithful has a particular angel assigned him for his defence, I cannot venture certainly to affirm... not one angel only has the care of every one of us, but that they all with one consent watch for our salvation.

It cannot be denied that God in choosing and destining Mary to be the Mother of his Son, granted her the highest honor.
John Calvin
Image
We are surrounded by God’s benefits. The best use of these benefits is an unceasing expression of gratitude.
John Calvin
Image
Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.

John Calvin
Image
Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take the time to enjoy where we are.
John Calvin
Image
The Angels are the dispensers and administrators of the Divine beneficence toward us. They regard our safety, undertake our defense, direct our ways, and exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befall us.
John Calvin
Image
No Task will be so sordid and base, provided you obey your calling in it, that it will not shine and be reckoned very precious in God's sight.
John Calvin
Image
For our hearts are enfeebled by prosperity, so that we cannot make the effort to pray.
John Calvin
Image
