Saint Anthony of Padua Quote

Solicitude for material things rends the soul; thus distracted, it divides it. The devil seizes the divided soul and thereby kills it.

-- Saint Anthony of Padua from a sermon

Saint Gregory of Nazianzus Quote

God accepts our desires as though they were of great value. He longs ardently for us to desire and love him. He accepts our petitions for benefits as though we were doing him a favor. His joy in giving is greater than ours in receiving. So let us not be apathetic in our asking, nor set too narrow bounds to our requests; nor ask for frivolous things unworthy of God's greatness.

-- Saint Gregory of Nazianzus

Saint John Vianney Quote

When it's God speaking.....the proper way to behave is to imitate someone who has an irresistable curiosity and who listens at keyholes. You must listen to everything God says at the keyhole of your heart.

-- Saint John Vianney

Saint Vincent de Paul Quote

We must never glance at what is good in ourselves, much less ponder over it, but we should search out what is wrong and what is lacking. This is an excellent way of remaining humble.

-- Saint Vincent de Paul
