Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Gregory Nazianzen

 

Nothing gives such pleasure to God as the conversion and salvation of men, for whom his every word and every revelation exist. He wants you to become a living force for all mankind, lights shining in the world. You are to be radiant lights as you stand beside Christ, the great light, bathed in the glory of him who is the light of heaven.

-- Saint Gregory Nazianzen

Certainly it is the great secret of the spiritual life to abandon to God all that we love by abandoning ourselves to all that He wills.

-- Saint Louise de Marillac

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Louis IX

 

 

If the Lord has permitted you to have some trial, bear it willingly and with gratitude, considering that it has happened for your good and that perhaps you well deserved it. If the Lord bestows upon you any kind of prosperity, thank him humbly and see that you become no worse for it, either through vain pride or anything else, because you ought not to oppose God or offend him in the matter of his gifts.

-- Saint Louis IX from a spiritual testament to his son

-- Saint Isidore of Seville

Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne

 

We cultivate a very small field for Christ, but we love it, knowing that God does not require great achievements but a heart that holds back nothing for self.

-- Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint John Vianney

Prayer is nothing else but union with God. In this intimate union, God and the soul are fused together like two bits of wax that no one can ever pull apart. This union of God with a tiny creature is a lovely thing. It is a happiness beyond understanding.

 --Saint John Vianney
