Saint Quote: Saint Alphais of Cudot

[The soul is] simple, invisible, incorporeal, not divided into parts like the body, present as a whole in whatever she does. The soul is not in a particular place. As God is everywhere, so the soul is everywhere in the body, more powerfully in heart and brain, as one says that God is in a special way in heaven.

–- Saint Alphais of Cudot

Saint Quote: Saint Augustine of Hippo

Neither are the souls of the pious dead separated from the Church which even now is the kingdom of Christ. Otherwise there would be no remembrance of them at the altar of God in the communication of the Body of Christ.

–- Saint Augustine of Hippo from “The City of God”

Saint Quote: Saint Simon Stock

Carmel's Flower,

Vine ever blossoming,

Heaven's splendor!

Virgin who bore a child.

No one is like thee.

Mother gentle and kind.

Yet never touched by man!

To Carmelites give thou the privilege.

Help us Star of the Sea.

–- Saint Simon Stock
