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 Quote: Saint Alban Bartholomew Roe

Saint Alban Bartholomew Roe

My friend, I find that thou art a prophet; thou hast told me often I should be hanged.


- Saint Alban Bartholomew Roe to one of his former gaolers

Saint Quote: Saint Anthony Mary Claret

Saint Anthony Mary Claret

For myself, I say this to you: The man who burns with the fire of divine love is a son of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and wherever he goes, he enkindles that flame; he deserves and works with all this strength to inflame all men with the fire of God's love. Nothing deters him: he rejoices in poverty; he labors strenuously; he welcomes hardships; he laughs off false accusations; he rejoices in anguish. He thinks only of how he might follow Jesus Christ and imitate him by his prayers, his labors, his sufferings, and by caring always and only for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.

Saint Quote: Saint John of Capistrano

San_Juan_Capistrano.jpg

Now a light does not illumine itself, but instead it diffuses its rays and shines all around upon everything that comes into its view. So it must be with the glowing lives of upright and holy clerics. By the brightness of their holiness they must bring light and serenity to all who gaze upon them. They have been placed here to care for others. Their own lives should be an example to others, showing how they must live in the house of the Lord.


- Saint John of Capistrano from the treatise Mirror of the Clergy

Saint Peter of Alcantara

No tongue can express the greatness of the love which Jesus Christ bears to our souls. He did not wish that between Him and His servants there should be any other pledge than himself, to keep alive the remembrance of Him.

Oh, how true it is that souls who seek God will find Him everywhere but especially in the poor. How I cherish your thoughts on this subject. They gave me great cause to praise God.

Saint Quote: Saint Isaac Jogues


My confidence is placed in God who does not need our help for accomplishing his designs. Our single endeavor should be to give ourselves to the work and to be faithful to him, and not to spoil his work by our shortcomings.
