Saint Daniel Comboni

We will have to labour hard, to sweat, to die: but the thought that one sweats and dies for love of Jesus Christ and the salvation of the most abandoned souls in the world, is far too sweet for us to desist from this great enterprise.

-- Saint Daniel Comboni from a letter to his parents

Saint John Chrysostom

If we have obtained the grace of God, none shall prevail against us, but we shall be stronger than all who oppose us.

-- Saint John Chrysostom

Saint Peter Julian Eymund

If the love of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament does not win our hearts, Jesus is vanquished! Our ingratitude is greater than His Goodness our malice is more powerful than His Charity. 

-- Saint Peter Julian Eymund

Saint Anselm of Canterbury

Mary was raised to the dignity of Mother of God rather for sinners than for the just, since Jesus Christ declares that he came to call not the just, but sinners.

-- Saint Anselm of Canterbury
