Saint Quote : Saint Teresa of Avila

 

 

All blessings come to us through our Lord. He will teach us, for in beholding his life we find that he is the best example.

--Saint Teresa of Avila

Saint Quote : Saint Jeanne de Chantal

 

 

Hold your eyes on God and leave the doing to him. That is all the doing you have to worry about.

-- Saint Jeanne de Chantal

Saint Quote : Saint Mark the Ascetic

 

 

When Scripture says, ‘He will reward every man according to his works’ (Matthew 16:27), do not imagine that works in themselves merit either hell or the Kingdom. On the contrary, Christ rewards each man according to whether his works are done with faith or without faith in Himself; and He is not a dealer bound by contract, but God our Creator and Redeemer.

-- Saint Mark the Ascetic

Saint Quote : Saint Augustine of Hippo

 

 

Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.

-- Saint Augustine of Hippo

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Peter Chrysologus

 

 

Listen to the Lord's appeal: In me, I want you to see your own body, your members, your heart, your bones, your blood. You may fear what is divine, but why not love what is human? You may run away from me as the Lord, but why not run to me as your father? Perhaps you are filled with shame for causing my bitter passion. Do not be afraid. This cross inflicts a mortal injury, not on me, but on death. These nails no longer pain me, but only deepen your love for me. I do not cry out because of these wounds, but through them I draw you into my heart. My body was stretched on the cross as a symbol, not of how much I suffered, but of my all-embracing love. I count it no less to shed my blood: it is the price I have paid for your ransom. Come, then, return to me and learn to know me as your father, who repays good for evil, love for injury, and boundless charity for piercing wounds.

--Saint Peter Chrysologus

Saint Quote : Saint Ignatius Loyola

 

 

He is generous even to exhaustion; and what is most wonderful is, that He gives Himself thus entirely, not once only, but every day, if we wish it. Every fresh Communion is a new gift which Jesus Christ makes of Himself.

-- Saint Ignatius Loyola

Saint Quote : Saint Bernadette of Lourdes

 

 

Nothing is anything more to me; everything is nothing to me, but Jesus: neither things nor persons, neither ideas nor emotions, neither honor nor sufferings. Jesus is for me honor, delight, heart and soul.

-- Saint Bernadette of Lourdes
