Saint Quote: Saint Lorenzo Ruiz of Manila

That I will never do, because I am a Christian, and I shall die for God, and for him I will give many thousands of lives if I had them. And so, do with me as you please.

-- Saint Lorenzo Ruiz of Manila after being asked to renounce his faith at his trial

Saint Quote: Saint Vincent de Paul

Free your mind from all that troubles you; God will take care of things. You will be unable to make haste in this (choice) without, so to speak, grieving the heart of God, because he sees that you do not honor him sufficiently with holy trust. Trust in him, I beg you, and you will have the fulfillment of what your heart desires. 

-- Saint Vincent de Paul 

Saint Quote: Saint Marie Victoire Therese Couderc

God always gives more than we ask. 

-- Saint Marie Victoire Therese Couderc

Saint Quote: Blessed Hermann of Reichenau

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy. Hail my life, my sweetness and my hope! To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve! To you do we send up our sighs; mourning and weeping in this vale of tears! Turn, most gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy toward me, and after this, our exile, show to us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus Christ! Clement, loving, sweet Virgin Mary! Amen. 

-- Blessed Hermann of Reichenau (author of Salve Regina and Alma Redemptoris Mater.)

Saint Quote: Saint Ignatius of Antioch

I no longer take pleasure in perishable food or in the delights of this world I want only God's bread, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, formed from the seed of David, and for drink I crave his blood, which is love that cannot perish.

-- Saint Ignatius of Antioch

Saint Quote: Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

We must remember that faith is the greatest gift that God has offered man on this earth, because from an earthly man he becomes a citizen of Heaven. Let us guard this gift jealously. Woe to him who forgets himself, who forgets Heaven, whose faith grows weak, and worse still (may God preserve us all) who denies his faith. This is the greatest affront that man can offer to God.

-- Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Saint Quote: Saint Rose of Viterbo

Prayer reveals to souls the vanity of earthly goods and pleasures. It fills them with light, strength and consolation; and gives them a foretaste of the calm bliss of our heavenly home.

-- Saint Rose of Viterbo
