Pope Saint John XXIII Quote

We also wish to ask you, Venerable Brethren, to recite Mary's rosary through the month of October with particular devotion, and to entreat the Virgin Mother of God in suppliant prayer, for another intention which is dear to Our heart: that the Roman Synod may bring many blessings and benefits upon this city; that the forthcoming Ecumenical Council, in which you will participate by your presence and your advice, will add wondrous growth to the universal Church; and that the renewed vigor of all the Christian virtues which We hope this Council will produce will also serve as an invitation and incentive to reunion for Our Brethren and children who are separated from this Apostolic See.

-- Pope Saint John XXIII from his Encyclical “GRATA RECORDATIO”

Saint Francis Borgia Quote

I have great doubts about the salvation of those who do not have special devotion to Mary.

-- Saint Francis Borgia

Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman Quote

We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.

Saint Mary Magdalen de Pazzi Quote

You will be consoled according to the greatness of your sorrow and affliction; the greater the suffering, the greater will be the reward.

-- Saint Mary Magdalen de Pazzi

Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina Quote (On the Rosary)

Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.

-- Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

Saint Bruno Quote

Rejoice, my dearest brothers, because you are blessed and because of the bountiful hand of God’s grace upon you. Rejoice, because you have escaped the various dangers and shipwrecks of the stormy world. Rejoice because you have reached the quiet and safe anchorage of a secret harbor. Many wish to come into this port, and many make great efforts to do so, yet do not achieve it. Indeed many, after reaching it, have been thrust out, since it was not granted them from above. By your work you show what you love and what you know. When you observe true obedience with prudence and enthusiasm, it is clear that you wisely pick the most delightful and nourishing fruit of divine Scripture.

-- Saint Bruno from a letter

Saint Faustina Kowalska Quote

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
