Saint James the Lesser Quote

Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man. But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured. Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death. Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.

-- Saint James the Lesser from The Epistle of James 1: 13 - 16

Saint Catherine of Siena Quote

Whenever you think God has shown you other people's faults, take care: your own judgment may well be at fault. Say nothing. And if you do attribute any vice to another person, immediately and humbly look for it in yourself also. Should the other person really possess that vice, he will correct himself so much the better when he sees how gently you understand him, and he will say to himself whatever you would have told him.

-- Saint Catherine of Siena

Saint Gianna Beretta Molla Quote

If you must choose between me and the baby, no hesitation; choose – and I demand it – the baby. Save the baby!

Saint Quote: Saint Faustina Kowalska

Oh, how great is the goodness of God, greater than we can understand. There are moments and there are mysteries of the divine mercy over which the heavens are astounded. Let our judgment of souls cease, for God’s mercy upon them is extraordinary.

-- Saint Faustina Kowalska from her diary
