Saint Quote: Saint Richard Pampuri

Pray that neither self indulgence nor pride, nor any other evil passion, prevent me from seeing in my patients Jesus who suffers, and from healing and comforting Him. 

-- Saint Richard Pampuri in a letter to his sister, a missionary nun

Saint Quote: Saint Anthony of Padua

But the apostles "spoke as the Spirit gave them the gift of speech." Happy the man whose words issue from the Holy Spirit and not from himself! 

-- Saint Anthony of Padua

Saint Quote: Saint Catherine of Siena

Strange that so much suffering is caused because of the misunderstandings of God's true nature. God's heart is more gentle than the Virgin's first kiss upon the Christ. And God's forgiveness to all, to any thought or act, is more certain than our own being.

-- Saint Catherine of Siena

Saint Gianna Beretta Molla

O Jesus, I promise You to submit myself to all that You permit to befall me, make me only know Your Will. My most sweet Jesus, infinitely merciful God, most tender Father of souls, and in a particular way of the most weak, most miserable, most infirm which You carry with special tenderness between Your divine arms, I come to You to ask You, through the love and merits of Your Sacred Heart, the grace to comprehend and to do always Your holy Will, the grace to confide in You, the grace to rest securely through time and eternity in Your loving divine arms. 

-- Saint Gianna Beretta Molla

Saint Quote: Saint John of Damascus

God created man to be straightforward, but he has entangled himself with an infinity of questions.

-- Saint John of Damascus

Saint Quote: Saint John Chrysostom

Sorrow is given us on purpose to cure us of sin.

-- Saint John Chrysostom

Saint Paul the Apostle

Make haste to come to me quickly. For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica: Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia. Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

-- Saint Paul the Apostle from 2 Timothy 4: 8 - 11
