For God so loved the world, as to give His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting. – Saint John the Apostle

Saint Quote : Saint Thomas Aquinas




Most loving Lord, grant me a steadfast heart which no unworthy desire may drag downards; an unconquered heart which no hardship may wear out; an upright heart which no worthless purpose may ensnare. Impart to me also, O God, the understanding to know you, the diligence to seek you, a way of life to please you, and a faithfulness that may embrace you, through Jesus Christ, my Lord. Amen.

--Saint Thomas Aquinas

Saint Quote : Saint Angela Merici








Disorder in society is the result of disorder in the family.

--Saint Angela Merici 

Note: She lived from 1474 - 1540. I wonder what she'd think today!

Saint Quote : Saint Marie Victoire Therese Couderc


 
 
What does it matter if my feet, bare and torn, fill my wooden shoes with blood? I would willingly begin the journey all over again, for I have indeed found the good God!

Saint Quote : Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman


 
 
Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him....He does nothing in vain; He may prolong my life, He may shorten it; He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends, He may throw me to strangers, He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide the future from me; still He knows what He is about.

-- Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman

Saint Quote : Saint Francis de Sales


 
 
There are many who say to the Lord, "I give myself wholly to Thee, without any reserve," but there are few who embrace the practice of this abandonment, which consists in receiving with a certain indifference every sort of event, as it happens in conformity with Divine Providence, as well afflictions as consolations, contempt and reproaches as honor and glory.

-- Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Quote : Saint John the Almsgiver


 
 
If we are able to enter the church day and night and implore God to hear our prayers, how careful we should be to hear and grant the petitions of our neighbor in need.

--Saint John the Almsgiver
