In the Blessed Sacrament…
Happier than those who lived during His mortal life, when He was only in one place, we find Jesus Christ today in every corner of the world, in the Blessed Sacrament.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Humble and humiliated…
What will be the crown of those who, humble within and humiliated without, have imitated the humility of our Savior in all its fullness!
–Saint Bernadette (1844-1879)
Become more humble…
Why is He so little in me? Is it because I am not little enough, not humble enough. Therefore may I become more humble, may I humble myself, and Jesus will increase.
–Saint Bernadette (1844-1879)
Before the Blessed Sacrament…
When we are before the Blessed Sacrament, instead of looking about us, let us shut our eyes and open our hearts; and the good God will open his. We will go to him, and he will come to us, the one to give, and the other to receive. It will be like a breath passing from one to the other. What delight we find in forgetting ourselves that we may seek God!
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Love one another…
Remember the precept that St. John the Evangelist used to give to his disciples: “Love one another.” Since it is not a mere exhortation, but a command, it would be sinful to do otherwise. Therefore, do away with insults, quarrels, envy, revenge, mockery, or bad will. Be good to one another. This will prove that you love each other like brothers.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Cleansed and reordered…
Good moral actions are not enough. Everything in us, from the very depths, must be cleansed and reordered.
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
