Saint Quote: Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God.

-- Saint Irenaeus of Lyons from Adversus Haereses (Against the Heresies)

Saint Quote: Blessed John Henry Newman

To holy people the very name of Jesus is a name to feed upon, a name to transport. His name can raise the dead and transfigure and beautify the living.

-- Blessed John Henry Newman

Saint Quote: Saint Benedict of Nursia

He who labors as he prays lifts his heart to God with his hands.

-- Saint Benedict of Nursia

Saint Quote: Saint Vincent Pallotti

You must be holy in the way that God asks you to be holy. God does not ask you to be a Trappist monk or a hermit. He wills that you sanctify the world and your everyday life. 

-- Saint Vincent Pallotti

Saint Quote: Saint John Bosco

The principal safeguard is a prudent reserve, and not allowing liberties to be taken with you. Purity is a precious jewel, and the owner of a precious stone would never dream of making a display of his riches in the presence of thieves.

-- Saint John Bosco

Saint Quote: Saint Marie de Saint Just

I want to go to China, to give my life for the Chinese people. 

-- Saint Marie de Saint Just

Saint Quote: Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

I will go peaceably and firmly to the Catholic Church: for if Faith is so important to our salvation, I will seek it where true Faith first began, seek it among those who received it from God Himself.

-- Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton
