Saint Quote of the Day: Saint Hilary of Poitiers

Saint Hilary of Poitiers


Little children follow and obey their father. They love their mother. They know nothing of covetousness, ill-will, bad temper, arrogance and lying. This state of mind opens the road to heaven. To imitate our Lord’s own humility, we must return to the simplicity of God’s little ones.
