The joy of Jesus will be my strength - it will be in my heart. Every person I meet will see it in my work; my walk, my prayer - in everything.

Saint Quote-Blessed Charles de Foucald
One must pass through the desert and spend some time there in order to receive the grace of God; it is there that one empties oneself, that one drives away from oneself everything which is not God and that one empties completely the house of one's soul in order to leave all of it to God alone.
~Blessed Charles de Foucald

Saint Quote-Saint Raphael Kalinowski
God refuses only the person who does not admit his own weakness; He sends away only the unhappy proud person. You must "hold him" well and strongly, with a poor spirit, with a poor heart, with a life entirely poor...The life of a soul who seeks true happiness clearly and indisputably depends on this: that those who seek their joy in God are the ones who give joy to God.
~Saint Raphael Kalinowski

Saint Quote- St. John of Damascus

Saint Quote- Saint Alberto Hurtado Cuchaga
In order to teach it is enough to know something. But to educate one must be something. True education consists in giving oneself as a living model, an authentic lesson.”

Saint Quote-Bl. Bishop Clemens August von Galen
(A speech against Euthanasia in Nazi Germany)
But those who persist in inciting the anger of God, who revile our Faith, who hate His commandments, who associate with those who alienate our young men from their religion, who rob and drive out our monks and nuns, who condemn to death our innocent brothers and sisters, our fellow human beings, we shun absolutely so as to remain undefiled by their blasphemous way of life, which would lay us open to that just punishment which God must and will inflict upon all....O my God, grant to us all now on this very day, before it is too late, a true realization of the things that are for peace. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, oppressed even unto tears by the blindness and sins of men, help us by Thy grace to seek always what is pleasing to Thee and reject what is displeasing, so that we may dwell in Thy Love and find rest in our souls.
Amen.
~Blessed Clemens August von Galen

Saint Quote-St John Chrysostom
Poor human reason, when it trusts in itself, substitutes the strangest absurdities for the highest divine concepts.
