For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

Saint Jude Thaddeus

But you, beloved, remember the words spoken beforehand by the apostles of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for they told you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will live according to their own godless desires." These are the ones who cause divisions; they live on the natural plane, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, build yourselves up in the most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit..Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of Our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 

-- Saint Jude Thaddeus

Saint Jude Thaddeus

But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; they said to you, "In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions." It is these who set up divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God; wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

-- Saint Jude Thaddeus from The Letter of Jude

Saint James the Lesser the Apostle

For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. 

-- Saint James the Lesser the Apostle

Saint Paul the Apostle

For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, and therefore I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.

-- Saint Paul the Apostle from The Second Letter of Paul To Timothy 1: 11-12

Saint John the Apostle

Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and every one who loves the parent loves the child. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

-- Saint John the Apostle from 1 John 5: 1 - 4

Saint John the Apostle

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

-- Saint John the Apostle from 1 John 3: 1 - 3

Saint Jude Thaddeus

To the one who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished and exultant, in the presence of His Glory, to the only God, Our Savior, through Jesus Christ Our Lord be glory, majesty, power, and authority from ages past, now, and for ages to come. Amen

-- Saint Jude Thaddeus from The Epistle of Jude 1:24-25

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
