Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort

There are three kinds of love: emotional love, rational love, and the supernatural love of faith. In other words, the love that resides in the lower part of man, in his body; the love in the higher part, his reason; and the love in the highest part of man, in the summit of the soul, that is, the intelligence enlightened by faith.

-- Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort

Blessed Emilian Kowcz

I understand that you are trying to get me released. But I beg you not to do this. Yesterday they killed fifty people. If I am not here, who will help them to get through these sufferings? They would go on their way to eternity with all their sins and in the depths of unbelief, which would take them to hell. But now they go to death with their heads held aloft, leaving all their sins behind them. And so they pass over to the eternal city.

-- Blessed Emilian Kowcz from the last letter to his family

Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini

We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on material success, but on Jesus alone.
