Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Vincent Pallotti

 

 

Remember that the Christian life is one of action; not of speech and daydreams. Let there be few words and many deeds, and let them be done well.

-- Saint Vincent Pallotti

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Rose Venerini

 

 

I find myself so bound to the divine will that neither death nor life is important: I want to live as He wishes and I want to serve Him as He likes, and nothing more.

-- Saint Rose Venerini

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Gregory the Great

 

 

If we knew at what time we were to depart from this world, we would be able to select a season for pleasure and another for repentance. But God, who has promised pardon to every repentant sinner, has not promised us tomorrow. Therefore we must always dread the final day, which we can never foresee. This very day is a day of truce, a day for conversion. And yet we refuse to cry over the evil we have done! Not only do we not weep for the sins we have committed, we even add to them.

-- Saint Gregory the Great

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Ignatius of Antioch

 

 

No earthly pleasures, no kingdoms of this world can benefit me in any way. I prefer death in Christ Jesus to power over the farthest limits of the earth. He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.

-- Saint Ignatius of Antioch

Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Francis de Sales

 

 

The highest degree of meekness consists in seeing, serving, honoring, and treating amiably, on occasion, those who are not to our taste, and who show themselves unfriendly, ungrateful, and troublesome to us.

-- Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Augustine of Hippo

Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in you. 

-- Saint Augustine of Hippo

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Catherine of Siena

 

 

Eternal Trinity, Godhead, mystery deep as the sea, you could give me no greater gift than the gift of yourself. For you are a fire ever burning and never consumed, which itself consumes all the selfish love that fills my being. Yes, you are a fire that takes away the coldness, illuminates the mind with its light, and causes me to know your truth. And I know that you are beauty and wisdom itself. The food of angels, you gave yourself to man in the fire of your love.

-- Saint Catherine of Siena
