"Our heart must be like a tabernacle, a sacred place where the Lord lives,
watches in silence, and murmurs words of goodness and love
to the heart" – Giuliana Spigone, A. O.

"The heart is made the tabernacle of God, into which, by himself and
also  by others,  many graces are infused, which bear in secret wondrous
fruits. This creature has a heaven within herself" – St. Catherine of Genua.

"The Lord is glorified in holy Church . . . But it is better that our heart
becomes a temple of the Lord. The heart of the contemplative is a temple,
and his spirit a throne because the Lord loves to make an abode in the heart
and spirit of the human being" – St. Silouan the Athonite.
