Become a saint…
Be obedient and you will become a saint.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Genuine saints…
He who believes himself to be a saint is a fool. Genuine saints always look upon themselves as the worst sinners.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Our progress in holiness…
Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves — on God’s grace and on our will to be holy. We must have a real living determination to reach holiness.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Away from ourselves…
Once we take our eyes away from ourselves — from our interests, from our own rights, privileges, ambitions — then we will become clear to see Jesus around us.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Action and contemplation…
Action is the stream, and contemplation is the spring.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
The purpose of our lives…
The purpose of our lives is to find the purpose of our lives.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
