Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Ignatius Loyola

If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity. 

-- Saint Ignatius Loyola

Saint Quote: Saint Leopold Bogdan Mandic

Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Augustine of Hippo

Martha and Mary were sisters, related not only by blood but also by religious aspirations. They stayed close to our Lord and both served him harmoniously when he was among them. Martha welcomed him as travelers are welcomed. But in her case, the maidservant received her Lord, the creature her Creator, to serve him bodily food while she was to be fed by the Spirit. No one of you should say, “Blessed are they who have deserved to receive Christ into their homes!” Do not grieve or complain that you were born in a time when you can no longer see God in the flesh. He did not in fact take this privilege from you. As he says, “Whatever you have done to the least of my brothers, you did to me.” 

-- Saint Augustine of Hippo from a sermon

Saint Quote: Saint Francis de Sales

Our Lady loves only places made low by humility, common by simplicity, but large by charity; she is willingly near the crib and at the foot of the Cross, provided she has her dear Son with her.

-- Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Poemen

Teach your heart to guard that which your tongue teaches. 

-- Saint Poemen

Saint Quote: Saint Francis of Assisi

If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

-- Saint Francis of Assisi

Saint Quote: Saint Augustine of Hippo

Trust the past to the Mercy of God, the present to His Love, and the future to His Providence.
