Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Justin Martyr

An explanation of how repentant sinners are to be freed from their sins is given through the prophet Isaiah in the words: Wash yourselves and be clean. Remove the evil from your souls; learn to do what is right. Be just to the orphan, vindicate the widow. Come, let us reason together, says the Lord. If your sins are like scarlet, I will make them white as wool; if they are like crimson, I will make them white as snow.

-- Saint Justin Martyr

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

 

 

Baptism gives us the grace of new birth in God the Father, through his Son, in the Holy Spirit. For those who bear God's Spirit are led to the Word, that is, to the Son, and the Son presents them to the Father, and the Father confers incorruptibility on them. And it is impossible to see God's Son without the Spirit, and no one can approach the Father without the Son, for the knowledge of the Father is the Son, and the knowledge of God's Son is obtained through the Holy Spirit.

-- Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

What does it avail to know that there is a God, which you not only believe by Faith, but also know by reason: what does it avail that you know Him if you think little of Him?

-- Saint Thomas More

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint John Bosco

 

 

Do you want our Lord to give you many graces? Visit him often. Do you want him to give you few graces? Visit him seldom.

Make frequent visits to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and the devil will be powerless against you.

 -- Saint John Bosco

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

-- Saint Louis IX

Saiont Quote of the Day : Saint John of God

I work here on borrowed money, a prisoner for the sake of Jesus Christ. And often my debts are so pressing that I dare not go out of the house for fear of being seized by my creditors. Whenever I see so many poor brothers and neighbors of mine suffering beyond their strength and overwhelmed with so many physical or mental ills which I cannot alleviate, then I become exceedingly sorrowful; but I trust in Christ, who knows my heart. And so I say, woe to the man who trusts in men rather than in Christ.

-- Saint John of God

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint John Vianney

 

 

My little children, reflect on these words: the Christian's treasure is not on earth but in heaven. Our thoughts, then, ought to be directed to where out treasure is. This is the glorious duty of man: to pray and to love. If you pray and love, that is where a man's happiness lies.

-- Saint John Vianney

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Epiphanus of Salamis

 

 

But those who say that there was a time when the Son or the Holy Spirit was not, or was made out of nothing or of another substance or essence, who say the Son of God or the Holy Spirit is liable to change or to becoming different, these people the Catholic and Apostolic Church, your Mother and ours, anathematizes; and again we  anathematize those who do not confess the resurrection of the dead, and all heresies which are not consistent with this, the true faith.

-- Saint Epiphanus of Salamis

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Leopold Mandic

 

 

We have in heaven the heart of a mother, The Virgin, our Mother, who at the foot of the Cross suffered as much as possible for a human creature, understands our troubles and consoles us.

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Ignatius of Laconi

Trust God.

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Vincent Pallotti

 

 

Remember that the Christian life is one of action; not of speech and daydreams. Let there be few words and many deeds, and let them be done well.

-- Saint Vincent Pallotti

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Rose Venerini

 

 

I find myself so bound to the divine will that neither death nor life is important: I want to live as He wishes and I want to serve Him as He likes, and nothing more.

-- Saint Rose Venerini

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Gregory the Great

 

 

If we knew at what time we were to depart from this world, we would be able to select a season for pleasure and another for repentance. But God, who has promised pardon to every repentant sinner, has not promised us tomorrow. Therefore we must always dread the final day, which we can never foresee. This very day is a day of truce, a day for conversion. And yet we refuse to cry over the evil we have done! Not only do we not weep for the sins we have committed, we even add to them.

-- Saint Gregory the Great

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Ignatius of Antioch

 

 

No earthly pleasures, no kingdoms of this world can benefit me in any way. I prefer death in Christ Jesus to power over the farthest limits of the earth. He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.

-- Saint Ignatius of Antioch

Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Francis de Sales

 

 

The highest degree of meekness consists in seeing, serving, honoring, and treating amiably, on occasion, those who are not to our taste, and who show themselves unfriendly, ungrateful, and troublesome to us.

-- Saint Francis de Sales
