Saint Quote: Saint Peter Claver

 

 

To love God as He ought to be loved, we must be detached from all temporal love. We must love nothing but Him, or if we love anything else, we must love it only for His sake.

-- Saint Peter Claver

Saint Quote : Saint Dominic de Guzman

A man who governs his passions is master of his world. We must either command them or be enslaved by them. It is better to be a hammer than an anvil.

-- Saint Dominic de Guzman

Saint Quote of the Day : Saint James the Lesser Apostle

You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

-- Saint James the Lesser Apostle

Saint Quote : Saint Raymond of Penyafort

 

 

May the God of love and peace set your hearts at rest and speed you on your journey; may He meanwhile shelter you from disturbance by others in the hidden recesses of His love, until He brings you at last into that place of complete plenitude where you will repose forever in the vision of peace, in the security of trust, and in the restful enjoyment of His riches.

 -- Saint Raymond of Penyafort

Saint Quote : Saint Anthony of Padua

Happy the man whose words issue from the Holy Spirit and not from himself!

-- Saint Anthony of Padua

Saint Quote of the Day: Pope Saint Gregory the Great

 

 

If we knew at what time we were to depart from this world, we would be able to select a season for pleasure and another for repentance. But God, who has promised pardon to every repentant sinner, has not promised us tomorrow. Therefore we must always dread the final day, which we can never foresee. This very day is a day of truce, a day for conversion. And yet we refuse to cry over the evil we have done! Not only do we not weep for the sins we have committed, we even add to them.

-- Pope Saint Gregory the Great

Saint Quote : Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

 

 

As long as any one has the means of doing good to his neighbours, and does not do so, he shall be reckoned a stranger to the love of the Lord.

-- Saint Irenaeus of Lyons
