That which God commands seems difficult and a burden. The way is rough; you draw back; you have no desire to follow it. Yet do so and you will attain glory. 

--  Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria

Far, far from the Christian be the love of novelty! God hates the proud and obstinate mind.

-- Pope Saint Pius X

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Therese of Lisieux

 

 

To think ourselves imperfect, and others perfect---- that is happiness. That creatures recognize we are without virtue takes nothing from us, makes us no poorer; it is they who by this lose interior joy; for there is nothing sweeter than to think well of our neighbor.

-- Saint Therese of Lisieux

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Gregory Nazianzen

 

 

By the effective exercise of only one virtue, a person may attain to the height of all the rest.

-- Saint Gregory Nazianzen

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Jerome

 

 

Hence, I tearfully beg you to refrain from seeking the favors of the world and to renounce all that is carnal. It is impossible to follow both the world and Jesus. Let us live a life of renunciation, for our bodies will soon be dust and nothing else will last any longer.

-- Saint Jerome

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

 

 

God is the source of all activity throughout creation. He cannot be seen or described in his own nature and in all his greatness by any of his creatures. Yet he is certainly not unknown. Through his Word the whole creation learns that there is one God the Father, who holds all things together and gives them their being. As it is written in the Gospel, "No man has ever seen God, except the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father; he has revealed him."

-- Saint Irenaeus of Lyons
