Christian quotations by Don Bosco. Gratitude. Christian portal
Don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.                Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.                Consider the ravens: they don't sow, they don't reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!                Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?                If then you aren't able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?                Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.                But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?                Don't seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.                For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.                But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.

Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Gratitude
   

John Bosco photo Christian quotations by Don Bosco"[Regarding benefactors]
Everything fades away, but not our gratitude. We shall always pray that God will abundantly bless those who have been so good to us."

"O my children, how great is Divine Providence! How generous God is to us! How much He loves us! Let us always be grateful and good! Let us love Him and never offend Him! In turn He will always provide for our needs."

"Yes, yes, my beloved sons, let us thank God. We have good reason to do so because, as you see, He has rescued us from a thousand mortal dangers. That our thanks may be more acceptable to Him, let us accompany them with a heartfelt, sincere promise to consecrate our lives to Him alone by loving Him with all our hearts, practicing our religion faithfully, observing the commandments and those of the Church, and avoiding mortal sin, which is infinitely worse than cholera or the plague."

"An educator should realize that these fine lads, or nearly all, are smart enough to sense the good done to them and innately open to sentiments of gratitude. With God’s help, we must strive to make them grasp the main tenets of our faith which, based entirely on love, reminds us of God’s infinite Love for mankind. We must seek to strike in their hearts a chord of gratitude which we owe Him in return for the benefits He so generously showers upon us. We must do our best to convince them through simple reasoning that gratitude to God means carrying out His Will and obeying His commandments, especially those which stress the observance of the duties of our state of life. Believe me, if our efforts succeed, we have accomplished the greater part of our educational task."

"Let us not be unfair to God and to Our Lady. If we succeed, and if our undertakings our flourishing, we owe it entirely to God and to our good Mother. We would be guilty of ingratitude if we attributed to ourselves the success of any enterprise. We would also make ourselves undeserving of God’s help."
