Saint Quote : 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 : Saint Charles Borromeo

I admit that we are all weak, but if we want help, the Lord God has given us the means to find it easily. Would you like me to teach you how to grow from virtue to virtue and how, if you are already recollected at prayer, you can be even more attentive next time, and so give God more pleasing worship? Listen, and I will tell you. If a tiny spark of God's love already burns within you, do not expose it to the wind, for it may get blown out. Keep the stove tightly shut so that it will not lose its heat and grow cold. In other words, avoid distractions as well as you can. Stay quiet with God. Do not spend your time in useless chatter.

-- Saint Charles Borromeo

Saint Quote : Saint Louis de Montfort

When the Holy Rosary is said well, it gives Jesus and Mary more glory and is more meritorious than any other prayer.

-- Saint Louis de Montfort

Saint Quote : Saint Alphais of Cudot

The soul is simple, invisible, incorporeal, not divided into parts like the body, present as a whole in whatever she does. The soul is not in a particular place. As God is everywhere, so the soul is everywhere in the body, more powerfully in heart and brain, as one says that God is in a special way in heaven.

-- Saint Alphais of Cudot

Saint Quote : Saint Gerard Majella

 

 

Who except God can give you peace? Has the world ever been able to satisfy the heart?

-- Saint Gerard Majella

Saint Quote : Saint Anthony of Padua

The saints are like the stars. In his providence Christ conceals them in a hidden place that they may not shine before others when they might wish to do so. Yet they are always ready to exchange the quiet of contemplation for the works of mercy as soon as they perceive in their heart the invitation of Christ. 

-- Saint Anthony of Padua
