Saint Quote: Saint Hannibal Mary Di Francia

What are these few orphans we attend to, these few people we bring the good news to, compared to the millions who are lost and abandoned as sheep without a shepherd? I looked for an answer and I found a complete one in the words of Jesus: 'Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers to gather his harvest'. I concluded then that I had found the secret key to all good works and to the salvation of all souls. 

-- Saint Hannibal Mary Di Francia

Saint Quote: Blessed John Henry Newman
