Saint Quote: Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity

I think that in Heaven my mission will be to draw souls by helping them to go out of themselves in order to cling to God by a wholly simple and loving movement, and to keep them in this great silence within which will allow God to communicate Himself to them and to transform them into Himself.

--Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity

Saint Quote: Saint Gregory Nazianzen

--Saint Gregory Nazianzen

Saint Quote: Saint Pope Damasus I

He who walking on the sea could calm the bitter waves, who gives life to the dying seeds of the earth; he who was able to loose the mortal chains of death, and after three days' darkness could bring again to the upper world the brother for his sister Martha: He, I believe, will make Damasus rise again from the dust.

-- St Damasus (from an epitaph written for himself)
