Saint Quote: Saint Melito of Sardis

For our Lord, when He was born man, was condemned in order that He might show mercy, was bound in order that He might loose, was seized in order that He might release, suffered in order that He might feel compassion, died in order that He might give life, was laid in the grave that He might raise from the dead.

-- Saint Melito of Sardis

Saint Quote: Saint Genoveva Torres Morales

I loved freedom of heart very much, and worked and am working to achieve it fully. It does the soul so much good that every effort is nothing compared with this free condition of the heart.

-- Saint Genoveva Torres Morales

Saint Quote: Saint Augustine of Hippo

Now there is a great difference between believing in Christ, and in believing that Jesus is the Christ. For that he was the Christ even the devils believed; but he believes in Christ who both loves Christ, and hopes in Christ.

-- Saint Augustine of Hippo

Saint Quote: Saint Therese of Lisieux

The greatest honor God can do a soul is not to give it much, but to ask much of it.

-- Saint Therese of Lisieux

Saint Quote: Saint Caesarius of Aries

A poor person asks you for something: you ask God for something. He begs for a morsel of food; you beg for eternal life. Give to the beggar so that you may receive from Christ. For He is who says," Give and it will be given to you." It baffles me that you have the imprudence to ask for what you do not want to give.

-- Saint Caesarius of Aries

Saint Quote: Saint Francis de Sales

We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear.

-- Saint Francis de Sales

Saint Quote: Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

God did not ask us to follow Him because He needed our help, but because He knew that loving Him would make us whole.

-- Saint Irenaeus of Lyons
