Oh,
how true it is that souls who seek God will find Him everywhere but
especially in the poor. How I cherish your thoughts on this subject.
They gave me great cause to praise God.

Saint Quote: Saint Isaac Jogues
My
confidence is placed in God who does not need our help for
accomplishing his designs. Our single endeavor should be to give
ourselves to the work and to be faithful to him, and not to spoil his
work by our shortcomings.

Saint Quote: Saint Ignatius of Antioch
I
am writing to all the churches to let it be known that I will gladly
die for God if only you do not stand in my way. I plead with you:
show me no untimely kindness. Let me be food for the wild beasts, for
they are my way to God. I am God's wheat and bread. Pray to Christ
for me that the animals will be the means of making me a sacrificial
victim for God...The prince of this world is determined to lay hold
of me and to undermine my will which is intent on God. Let none of
you here help him; instead show yourselves on my side, which is also
God's side...Rather within me is the living water which says deep
inside me: "Come to the Father."
–- Saint Ignatius of Antioch from his Letter to the Romans
