Saint Quote: Saint Thomas More

What does it avail to know that there is a God, which you not only believe by Faith, but also know by reason: what does it avail that you know Him if you think little of Him?

-- St Thomas More

Saint Quote: Saint Raymond of Penyafort

Look then on Jesus, the author and preserver of faith: in complete sinlessness he suffered, and at the hands of those who were his own, and was numbered among the wicked. As you drink the cup of the Lord Jesus (how glorious it is!), give thanks to the Lord, the giver of all blessings.

May the God of love and peace set your hearts at rest and speed you on your journey; may he meanwhile shelter you from disturbance by others in the hidden recesses of his love, until he brings you at last into that place of complete plenitude where you will repose for ever in the vision of peace, in the security of trust, and in the restful enjoyment of his riches.

--from a letter by Saint Raymond

Saint Quote: Saint Cristobal Magallanes Jara

I am innocent and I die innocent. I forgive with all my heart those responsible for my death, and I ask God that the shedding of my blood serves toward the peace of our divided Mexico.

--Saint Cristobal just before his executioners fired

Saint Quote: Blessed Maria Caridad Brader

Saint Quote: Saint John of the Cross

Live in the world as if only God and your soul were in it; then your heart will never be made captive by any earthly thing.

--Saint John of the Cross

Saint Quote: Saint Daniel Comboni

The missionaries will have to understand that they are stones hid under the earth, which will perhaps never come to light, but which will become part of the foundations of a vast, new building.

--Saint Daniel Comboni

Saint Quote: Saint Rose of Viterbo

Prayer reveals to souls the vanity of earthly goods and pleasures. It fills them with light, strength and consolation; and gives them a foretaste of the calm bliss of our heavenly home.

-- St Rose of Viterbo
