Saint Quote : Saint Mark the Ascetic

 

 

Even though knowledge is true, it is still not firmly established if unaccompanied by works. For everything is established by being put into practice.

-- Saint Mark the Ascetic

Saint Quote : Saint Mary MacKillop

 

 

In the trials, annoyances and anxieties we daily experience, may we ever recognise that loving Fatherly Hand that only seeks to draw us closer to himself by giving us opportunities to suffer something for him.

                       
 -- Saint Mary MacKillop

Saint Quote: Saint Peter of Alcantara

No tongue can express the greatness of the love which Jesus Christ bears to our souls. He did not wish that between Him and His servants there should be any other pledge than himself, to keep alive the remembrance of Him. 

-- Saint Peter of Alcantara

Saint Quote : Saint Boniface

 

 

Let us trust in him who has placed this burden upon us. What we ourselves cannot bear let us bear with the help of Christ. For he is all-powerful, and he tells us: "My yoke is easy, and my burden light."

-- Saint Boniface

Saint Quote : Saint Ignatius of Antioch

The prince of this world is determined to lay hold of me and to undermine my will which is intent on God. Let none of you here help him; instead show yourselves on my side, which is also God's side. Believe instead what I am now writing to you. For though I am alive as I write to you, still my real desire is to die. My love of this life has been crucified, and there is no yearning in me for any earthly thing. Rather within me is the living water which says deep inside me: "Come to the Father." I no longer take pleasure in perishable food or in the delights of this world I want only God's bread, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, formed from the seed of David, and for drink I crave his blood, which is love that cannot perish.

-- Saint Ignatius of Antioch
