Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Optatus of Mileve

You cannot deny that you know that in the city of Rome upon Peter first the chair of the bishop was conferred, in which sat the head of all the Apostles, Peter, whence also he was called Cephas, in which one chair unity should be preserved by all, lest the other Apostles should each stand up for his own chair, so that now he should be a schismatic and a sinner who should against this one chair set up another.

-- Saint Optatus of Mileve

Saint Quote of the Day : Pope Saint Leo the Great

 

 

For all, regenerated in Christ, are made kings by the sign of the cross. They are consecrated priests by the oil of the Holy Spirit, so that beyond the special service of our ministry as priests, all spiritual and mature Christians know that they are a royal race and are sharers in the office of the priesthood.

-- Pope Saint Leo the Great

Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Justin Martyr

An explanation of how repentant sinners are to be freed from their sins is given through the prophet Isaiah in the words: Wash yourselves and be clean. Remove the evil from your souls; learn to do what is right. Be just to the orphan, vindicate the widow. Come, let us reason together, says the Lord. If your sins are like scarlet, I will make them white as wool; if they are like crimson, I will make them white as snow.

-- Saint Justin Martyr

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Isidore of Seville

 

 

If a man wants to be always in God's company, he must pray regularly and read regularly. When we pray, we talk to God; when we read, God talks to us.

--Saint Isidore of Seville

Trivia note: Saint Isidore of Seville is considered the leading candidate for Patron Saint of the Internet and Computer users.

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

 

 

Baptism gives us the grace of new birth in God the Father, through his Son, in the Holy Spirit. For those who bear God's Spirit are led to the Word, that is, to the Son, and the Son presents them to the Father, and the Father confers incorruptibility on them. And it is impossible to see God's Son without the Spirit, and no one can approach the Father without the Son, for the knowledge of the Father is the Son, and the knowledge of God's Son is obtained through the Holy Spirit.

-- Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint Thomas More

 

 

What does it avail to know that there is a God, which you not only believe by Faith, but also know by reason: what does it avail that you know Him if you think little of Him?

-- Saint Thomas More
