Saint Quote: Saint Jeanne de Chantal

We should go to prayer with deep humility and an awareness of our nothingness. We must invoke the help of the Holy Spirit and that of our good angel, and then remain still in God's presence, full of faith that he is more in us than we are in ourselves. 

-- Saint Jeanne de Chantal

Saint Quote : Pope Saint Damasus I

 

 

He who walking on the sea could calm the bitter waves, who gives life to the dying seeds of the earth; he who was able to loose the mortal chains of death, and after three days' darkness could bring again to the upper world the brother for his sister Martha: he, I believe, will make Damasus rise again from the dust.

 -- Pope Saint Damasus I

Saint Quote : Saint John Climacus

 

 

A man who has embraced poverty offers up prayer that is pure, while a man who loves possessions prays to material images.

-- Saint John Climacus

Saint Quote : Saint Hipparchus of Samosata

 

 

Him we adore who hung upon the cross. Him we confess to be God, and the Son of God begotten, not made, co-essential with the Father, by whose deity we believe this whole world is created, preserved, and governed.

-- Saint Hipparchus of Samosata

Saint Quote: Saint Vincent de Paul

Read some chapter of a devout book....It is very easy and most necessary, for just as you speak to God when at prayer, God speaks to you when you read.

-- Saint Vincent de Paul

Saint Quote : Saint Ambrose of Milan
