For God so loved the world, as to give His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting. – Saint John the Apostle

Saint John of God



If we look forward to receiving God's mercy, we can never fail to do good so long as we have the strength. For if we share with the poor, out of love for God, whatever He has given to us, we shall receive according to His promise a hundredfold in eternal happiness. What a fine profit, what a blessed reward! With outstretched arms He begs us to turn toward Him, to weep for our sins, and to become the servants of love, first for ourselves, then for our neighbors. Just as water extinguishes a fire, so love wipes away sin.

Saint Teresa Margaret Redi of the Sacred Heart



Nobody comes to the Father except through Jesus. To come to God who is everything and consequently all good, no fatigue must seem to us too great; we must not be put off either by the difficulties we meet on the way, but accept bitterness and welcome every kind of cross with eagerness. By these means, which are precisely those of Jesus Christ, it is not difficult to come to the true God, to live in charity, to walk in love.

Saint Colette of Corbie


If there be a true way that leads to the Everlasting Kingdom, it is most certainly that of suffering, patiently endured.

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 Teresa of Avila



If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend. And I clearly see that if we expect to please him and receive an abundance of his graces, God desires that these graces must come to us from the hands of Christ, through his most sacred humanity, in which God takes delight. 

-- Saint Teresa of Avila 

Saint Katharine Drexel



It is a lesson we all need – to let alone the things that do not concern us.  He has other ways for others to follow Him; all do not go by the same path.  It is for each of us to learn the path by which He requires us to follow Him,  and to follow Him in that path.

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux



Inordinate love for the flesh is cruelty, because under the appearance of pleasing the body, we kill the soul.

-- Saint Bernard of Clairvaux
