Saint Quote : Saint Angela Merici

Disorder in society is the result of disorder in the family.

--Saint Angela Merici 

Note: She lived from 1474 - 1540. I wonder what she'd think today!

Saint Quote : Saint Marie Victoire Therese Couderc

 

 

What does it matter if my feet, bare and torn, fill my wooden shoes with blood? I would willingly begin the journey all over again, for I have indeed found the good God!

--Saint Marie Victoire Therese Couderc

Saint Quote : Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman

 

 

Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him....He does nothing in vain; He may prolong my life, He may shorten it; He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends, He may throw me to strangers, He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide the future from me; still He knows what He is about.

-- Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman

Saint Quote : Saint Francis de Sales

 

 

There are many who say to the Lord, "I give myself wholly to Thee, without any reserve," but there are few who embrace the practice of this abandonment, which consists in receiving with a certain indifference every sort of event, as it happens in conformity with Divine Providence, as well afflictions as consolations, contempt and reproaches as honor and glory.

-- Saint Francis de Sales
