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 Claude de la Colombiere

Saint Claude de la Colombiere.jpg


To prefer man to God: A strange and unhappy slavery is that of a man who seeks to please other men. I vow never to do anything nor to leave anything undone because of what people think. This will set up in me a great interior peace.

Saint Quote: Saint Saint Cyprian of Carthage


These days no one thinks of the fears that the future holds. No one takes to heart the day of judgment, and the wrath of God. The punishments to come to unbelievers, and the eternal torments decreed for the faithless. If only they believed, they would heed, and if they took heed, they would escape.


-- Saint Cyprian of Carthage

Saint Quote: Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Mother Teresa of Calcutta receiving Medal of Freedom from President Ronald Reagan in 1985

It is a great poverty that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.


-- Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Saint Quote: Saint Isidore of Seville


In reading we aim at knowing, but we must put into practice what we have learned in our course of study. The more you devote yourself to study of the sacred utterances, the richer will be your understanding of them, just as the more the soil is tilled, the richer the harvest. The man who is slow to grasp things but who really tries hard is rewarded, equally he who does not cultivate his God-given intellectual ability is condemned for despising his gifts and sinning by sloth.

Saint Quote: Saint Ignatius Loyola

Saint Ignatius Loyola.jpg

If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the Cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity.


-- Saint Ignatius Loyola

Saint Quote: Saint Paul the Apostle

Saint Paul the Apostle.jpg

For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming.


-- Saint Paul the Apostle from 2 Timothy 4: 6 - 8
