Saint Quote: Saint John Baptist de la Salle

We should have frequent recourse to prayer, and persevere a long time in it. God wishes to be solicited. He is not weary of hearing us. The treasure of His graces is infinite. We can do nothing more pleasing to him than to beg incessantly that He bestow them upon us.

-- St. John Baptist de la Salle

Saint Quote: Saint Augustine of Hippo

God bestows more consideration on the purity of the intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves.

-- St. Augustine

St. Therese of Lisieux

Believe me, the writing of pious books, the composing of the most sublime poetry; all that does not equal the smallest act of self-denial.

St. Therese of Lisieux

Saint Quote: Saint Anselm

Mary was raised to the dignity of Mother of God rather for sinners than for the just, since Jesus Christ declares that he came to call not the just, but sinners.

-- St. Anselm

Saint John Vianney

"When you think of going to mass on working days, it is an impulse of the grace that God willed to grant you. FOLLOW IT." He did not say ignore it! He also said: "A saint has told us that one day at Mass he saw Jesus Christ with His hands full of gifts, looking for souls to whom He might give them." But no one was there.

--St. John Vianney

Saint Quote: Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Stop entertaining those vain fears. Remember it is not feeling which constitutes guilt but the consent to such feelings. Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will sighs under the trial of the tempter and does not will what is presented to it, there is not only no fault but there is virtue.

-- Saint Pio of Pietrelcina

Saint Quote: Saint John Chrysostom

If we have obtained the grace of God, none shall prevail against us, but we shall be stronger than all who oppose us.

-- St John Chrysostom
