Saint Ursula Ledóchowska

 

 

You must never ask Jesus to wait.

-- Saint Ursula Ledóchowska

Saint Augustine of Hippo

 

 

Strive to acquire the virtues you think your brothers lack, and then you will no longer see their defects, because you yourselves will not have them.

-- Saint Augustine of Hippo

Saint John Plessington

But I know it will be said that a priest ordayned by authority derived from the See of Rome is, by the Law of the Nation, to die as a Traytor, but if that be so what must become of all the Clergymen of the Church of England, for the first Protestant Bishops had their Ordination from those of the Church of Rome, or not at all, as appears by their own writers so that Ordination comes derivatively from those now living. 

-- Saint John Plessington, from the gallows as he was about to be martyred

Saint Hannibal Mary Di Francia

 

 

The entire Church must formally pray for (vocations) because the purpose of the prayer to gain vocations must concern all the faithful, every Christian who has at heart the good of souls and, in a particular way, the Bishops who are the shepherds of the spiritual flock and to whom souls are entrusted. They are the living Apostles of Jesus Christ today.

-- Saint Hannibal Mary Di Francia

Saint Paulina of the Agonizing Heart of Jesus

The presence of God is so intimate to me that it seems impossible for me to lose it; and such presence gives my soul a joy which I can not describe.

-- Saint Paulina of the Agonizing Heart of Jesus

Saint John Chrysostom

 

 

There is a certain love deeply seated in our nature that imperceptibly knits together these bodies of ours. Nothing so welds our life together as the love of man and wife.

-- Saint John Chrysostom

Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria

 

Spiritual life demands that you never turn back or stop going forward; but rather that, as soon as you taste it, you make progress day by day and, forgetting what lies behind, strain forward to what lies ahead.

-- Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria
