Saint Quote: Saint Gregory of Nazianzen

Let us not esteem worldly prosperity or adversity as things real or of any moment, but let us live elsewhere, and raise all our attention to Heaven; esteeming sin as the only true evil, and nothing truly good, but virtue which unites us to God.

--Saint Gregory Nazianzen

Saint Quote: Blessed Emilian Kowcz

With the exception of heaven, this is the only place I wish to be. Here we are all the same: Poles, Jews, Ukrainians, Russians. I am the only priest. When I celebrate the liturgy, they pray for all, each one in his own language. Doesn't God understand all languages?

--Father Emilian writing to his children from the concentration camp

Saint Quote: Saint John Regis

Every time that God converts a hardened sinner he is working a far greater miracle.

--Saint John Regis

Saint Quote: Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich

If the Church is true, all in her is true; he who admits not the one, believes not the other.

-- Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich

Saint Quote: Saint Joseph Sebastian Pelczar

Earthly ideals are fading away. I see the ideal of life in sacrifice, and the ideal of sacrifice in priesthood.

-- Saint Joseph as a young man

Saint Quote: Blessed Josaphata Mykhailyna Hordashevska

You are our Patroness, continue to protect our small Congregation with your holy omophorion, and under your holy protection we shall not perish, even if all hell is against us.

--Blessed Josaphata from one of her private prayers to Our Holy Mother

Saint Quote: Saint John of Sahagun

". . . a preacher must be prepared in his soul to speak the truth, both in denouncing and correcting shortcomings and in praising virtue, to such a point that he is willing in that cause even to face death."

--Saint John of Sahagun (his response to a Duke's complaint that not only did the Saint point out the sins of the common people, he also pointed out those of the nobility as well.)
