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 John the Apostle

Saint Catherine of Genoa Quote

Saint Catherine of Genoa.jpg


Our self will is so subtle and so deeply rooted within us, so covered with excuses and defended by false reasoning, that it seems to be a demon. When we cannot do our own will in one way, we do it in another, under all kinds of pretexts.


-- Saint Catherine of Genoa

To know whom to avoid is a great means of saving our souls.


-- Saint Thomas Aquinas



Saint James the Lesser Quote

Saint James the Lesser.jpg


Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man. But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured. Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death. Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.


-- Saint James the Lesser from The Epistle of James 1: 13 - 16

Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out
