Saint Quote of the Day : Saint James the Lesser Apostle

You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

-- Saint James the Lesser Apostle

Saint Quote : Saint Raymond of Penyafort

 

 

May the God of love and peace set your hearts at rest and speed you on your journey; may He meanwhile shelter you from disturbance by others in the hidden recesses of His love, until He brings you at last into that place of complete plenitude where you will repose forever in the vision of peace, in the security of trust, and in the restful enjoyment of His riches.

 -- Saint Raymond of Penyafort

Happy the man whose words issue from the Holy Spirit and not from himself!

-- Saint Anthony of Padua

Saint Quote of the Day: Pope 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.

-- Pope Saint Gregory the Great

Saint Quote : Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

 

 

As long as any one has the means of doing good to his neighbours, and does not do so, he shall be reckoned a stranger to the love of the Lord.

-- Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

Saint Quote : Saint Madeline Sophie Barat

 

 

Our Lord who saved the world through the Cross will only work for the good of souls through the Cross.

-- Saint Madeline Sophie Barat

Saint Quote : Saint Cyprian of Carthage

 

 

The envious man is cruel, proud, unfaithful, impatient, and quarrelsome; and, what is strange, when this vice gains the mastery, he is no longer master of himself, and he is unable to correct his many faults. If the bond of peace is broken, if the rights of fraternal charity are violated, if truth is altered or disguised, it is often envy that hurries him on to crime.

What happiness can such a man enjoy in this world? To be envious or jealous of another, because such a one is virtuous and happy, is to hate in him the graces and blessings God has showered down upon him.

-- Saint Cyprian of Carthage
