Saint Quote : Saint Peter Julian Eymard

Every time we come into the presence of the Eucharist we may say: This precious Testament cost Jesus Christ His life. For the Eucharist is a testament, a legacy which becomes valid only at the death of the testator. Our Lord thereby shows us His boundless love, for He Himself said there is no greater proof of love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. 

-- Saint Peter Julian Eymard 

Saint Quote : Saint Basil the Great

O sinner, be not discouraged, but have recourse to Mary in all your necessities. Call her to your assistance, for such is the divine Will that she should help in every kind of necessity.

-- Saint Basil the Great

Saint Quote : Saint Vincent Pallotti

 

 

Since God is perfect in loving man, man must be perfect in loving his neighbor.

-- Saint Vincent Pallotti

Saint Quote : Saint Luigi Scrosoppi of Udine

The poor and the sick are our owners and they represent the very person of Jesus Christ.

--Saint Luigi Scrosoppi of Udine

Saint Quote: Saint Francis of Assisi

 

 

Let us also love our neighbors as ourselves. Let us have charity and humility. Let us give alms because these cleanse our souls from the stains of sin. Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve. We must not be wise according to the flesh. Rather we must be simple, humble and pure. We should never desire to be over others. Instead, we ought to be servants who are submissive to every human being for God's sake. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on all who live in this way and persevere in it to the end. He will permanently dwell in them. They will be the Father's children who do his work.

-- Saint Francis of Assisi from a letter to all the faithful

Saint Quote : Saint Francis de Sales

 

 

An action of small value performed with much love of God is far more excellent than one of a higher virtue, done with less love of God.

-- Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Quote: Saint Thomas Aquinas

 

 

God's universal providence works through secondary causes . . . The world of pure spirits stretches between the Divine Nature and the world of human beings; because Divine Wisdom has ordained that the higher should look after the lower, Angels execute the Divine plan for human salvation: they are our Guardians, who free us when hindered and help to bring us home.

-- Saint Thomas Aquinas
