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 Aloysius Gonzaga Quote



There is no more evident sign that anyone is a saint and of the number of the elect, than to see him leading a good life and at the same time a prey to desolation, suffering, and trials.


-- Saint Aloysius Gonzaga

Saint Augustine of Hippo Quote



What you do with those who beg from you is what God will do with His beggar, you! You are filled and you are empty. Fill your empty neighbor from your fullness, so that your emptiness may be filled from God's fullness.

Even though knowledge is true, it is still not firmly established if unaccompanied by works. For everything is established by being put into practice.

Blessed Pierre-Joseph Cassant

For such a long time we hoped against hope to be able to have the whole family together after my ordination so as to share the joy of being present and receiving Communion together at my first Mass. The good Lord heard our deepest wishes. It now remains to us to thank Him and to enter more and more deeply into the greatness of the priesthood. Let us never dare to equate the Sacrifice of the Mass with earthly things.


-- Blessed Pierre-Joseph Cassant from a letter to his family

Saint Ignatius Loyola Quote



He is generous even to exhaustion; and what is most wonderful is, that He gives Himself thus entirely, not once only, but every day, if we wish it. Every fresh Communion is a new gift which Jesus Christ makes of Himself.


-- Saint Ignatius Loyola



Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus Quote

Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus.jpg


Wherefore there is nothing either created or in servitude in the Trinity; nor anything superinduced, as if at some former period it was non-existent, and at some later period it was introduced. And thus neither was the Son ever wanting to the Father, nor the Spirit to the Son; but without variation and without change, the same Trinity abideth ever.


-- Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus
