Saint Cyprian of Carthage

Let us remember one another in concord and unanimity. Let us on both sides of death always pray for one another. Let us relieve burdens and afflictions by mutual love, that if one of us, by the swiftness of divine condescension, shall go hence the first, our love may continue in the presence of the Lord, and our prayers for our brethren and sisters not cease in the presence of the Father's mercy. 

-- Saint Cyprian of Carthage

Saint John Vianney

Yes, my dear bretheren, we shall see at the Judgement that the largest section of Christians practiced a religion of whim or caprice only---that is to say, the greatest number of them practiced their religion merely from motives of routine, and very few sought God alone in what they did.

-- Saint John Vianney

Pope Saint Leo the Great

For all, regenerated in Christ, as made kings by the sign of the cross. They are consecrated priests by the oil of the Holy Spirit, so that beyond the special service of our ministry as priests, all spiritual and mature Christians know that they are a royal race and are sharers in the office of the priesthood.

 -- Pope Saint Leo the Great

Saint Melito of Sardis

The Lord, though He was God, became man. He suffered for the sake of whose who suffer, He was bound for those in bonds, condemned for the guilty, buried for those who lie in the grave; but He rose from the dead, and cried aloud: "Who will contend with me? Let him confront me." I have freed the condemned, brought the dead back to life, raised men from their graves. Who has anything to say against me? I, He said, am the Christ; I have destroyed death, triumphed over the enemy, trampled hell underfoot, bound the strong one, and taken men up to the heights of heaven: I am the Christ.

-- Saint Melito of Sardis from a letter

Saint Peter Julian Eymard

Every time we come into the presence of the Eucharist we may say: This precious Testament cost Jesus Christ His life. For the Eucharist is a testament, a legacy which becomes valid only at the death of the testator. Our Lord thereby shows us His boundless love, for He Himself said there is no greater proof of love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. 

-- Saint Peter Julian Eymard 

Saint Francis of Assisi

We adore you and we bless you, Lord Jesus Christ, here and in all the churches which are in the whole world, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

-- Saint Francis of Assisi

Saint John Vianney

Can the life of a good Christian be anything other than that of a man nailed to the Cross with Jesus Christ?

-- Saint John Vianney

Saint Ignatius of Antioch

Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath, but the Lord's Day, in which our life is blessed by Him and by His death. 

-- Saint Ignatius of Antioch

Saint Augustine of Hippo

God does not command impossibilities, but by commanding admonishes you do what you can and to pray for what you cannot, and aids you that you may be able. 

-- Saint Augustine of Hippo

Saint Melito of Sardis

Born as a son,

led forth as a lamb,

sacrificed as a sheep,

buried as a man,

He rose from the dead as a God,

for He was by nature God and Man.

He is all things: He judges, and so He is Law;

He teaches, and so He is Word;

He saves, and so He is Grace;

He begets, and so He is Father,

He is begotten, and so He is Son;

He suffers, and so He is Sacrifice;

He is buried, and so He is Man;

He rises again, and so He is God.

This is Jesus Christ, to Whom belongs Glory for all ages.

-- Saint Melito of Sardis Bishop and Martyr

Saint John Eudes

Our wish, our object, our chief preoccupation must be to form Jesus in ourselves, to make his spirit, his devotion, his affections, his desires, and his disposition live and reign there. All our religious exercises should be directed to this end. It is the work which God has given us to do unceasingly. 

-- Saint John Eudes

Saint Alphonsus Liguori

True charity consists in doing good to those who do us evil, and in thus winning them over.

-- Saint Alphonsus Liguori

Saint Josemaria Escriva

You go to pray; to become a bonfire, a living flame, giving light and heat.

-- Saint Josemaria Escriva

Saint Francis of Paola

Be peace-loving. Peace is a precious treasure to be sought with great zeal. You are well aware that our sins arouse God's anger. You must change your life, therefore, so that God in His mercy will pardon you. What we conceal from men is known to God. Be converted, then, with a sincere heart. Live your life that you may receive the blessing of the Lord. Then the peace of God our Father will be with you always. 

-- Saint Francis of Paola

Saint Gemma Galgani

If I saw the gates of Hell open and I stood on the brink of the abyss, I should not despair, I should not lose hope of mercy, because I should trust in You, my God. 

-- Saint Gemma Galgani

Let us fix our attention on the blood of Christ and recognize how precious it is to God his Father, since it was shed for our salvation and brought the grace of repentance to all the world.

-- Pope Saint Clement I

Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman

Right reason, that is, reason rightly exercised, leads the mind to the Catholic faith, and plants it there, and teaches it in all its religious speculations to act under its guidance.

-- Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman

Saint Peter Chrysologus

 

 

Anyone who wishes to frolic with the devil cannot rejoice with Christ.

-- Saint Peter Chrysologus

If you truly want to help the soul of your neighbor, you should approach God first with all your heart. Ask him simply to fill you with charity, the greatest of all virtues; with it you can accomplish what you desire. 

-- Saint Vincent Ferrer

Reading the holy Scriptures confers two benefits. It trains the mind to understand them; it turns man's attention from the follies of the world and leads him to the love of God. 

-- Saint Isidore of  Seville
