Saint Quote - Saint Bernardine of Siena

There is a general rule concerning all special graces granted to any human being. Whenever the divine favor chooses someone to receive a special grace, or to accept a lofty vocation, God adorns the person chosen with all the gifts of the Spirit needed to fulfill the task at hand.

- Saint Bernardine of Siena (from a sermon on Saint Joseph)

Saint Quote-St Edith Stein

As for what concerns our relations with our fellow men, the anguish in our neighbor's soul must break all precept. All that we do is a means to an end, but love is an end in itself, because God is love.

- Saint Colette

Saint Quote - Saint Gregory of Nyssa

Even the death on the Cross was sublime: for it was the culminating and necessary point in that scheme of Love in which death was to be followed by blessed resurrection for the whole "lump" of humanity: and the Cross itself has a mystic meaning.

Saint Quote - Saint Clare of Assisi

Gaze upon the Lord,
Gaze upon his face;
Gaze upon the One who holds you in his embrace.
Gaze upon his life;
Gaze upon his love;
Gaze upon his coming poor from heaven above.
