Saint Peter Claver Quote

To do the will of God, man must despise his own; the more he dies to himself, the more he will live to God.

-- Saint Peter Claver

Saint Andrew of Crete Quote

This is the revelation of the mystery, this is the emptying out of the divine nature, the union of God and man, and the deification of the manhood that was assumed. This radiant and manifest coming of God to men most certainly needed a joyful prelude to introduce the great gift of salvation to us. The present festival, the birth of the Mother of God, is the prelude, while the final act is the fore-ordained union of the Word with flesh. Today the Virgin is born, tended and formed and prepared for her role as Mother of God, who is the universal King of the ages.

-- Saint Andrew of Crete

Saint Athanasius the Great Quote

Even on the Cross He did not hide Himself from sight; rather, He made all creation witness to the presence of its Maker.

-- Saint Athanasius the Great

Saint John Cantius Quote

Fight all error, but do it with good humor, patience, kindness, and love. Harshness will damage your own soul and spoil the best cause.

-- Saint John Cantius

Venerable Fulton Sheen Quote

Right is right if nobody is right, and wrong is wrong if everybody is wrong.

-- Venerable Fulton Sheen

Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman Quote

May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at the last.

-- Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman a daily prayer by him

Pope Saint Gregory the Great Quote

Perhaps it is not after all so difficult for a man to part with his possessions, but it is certainly most difficult for him to part with himself. To renounce what one has is a minor thing; but to renounce what one is, that is asking a lot.

-- Pope Saint Gregory the Great
