Making good Communions…
Making really good Communions often is the best way to make sure you will die happy and save your soul.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
The moment of death…
Make hay while the sun shines. Let us not allow the devil to delude us into thinking we may put our conscience in order at the moment of death.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
When a just one dies…
When the just man dies, God, whom he has loved and served, together with the Blessed Virgin, hastens to assist him, consoles him in his agony, fills him with courage, confidence, and resignation, and leads him triumphantly into heaven.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
The hour of death…
Remember that at the hour of death we shall reap what we have sown in life. If we have done good works, we will be happy. Death will be a blessing because it will usher us into Paradise. Otherwise, woe to us! Remorse of conscience and the open jaws of hell will await us. ‘What a man sows, that he will also reap.’ (Galatians 6:8)
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Shout the Gospel…
Our entire existence, our whole being must shout the Gospel from the rooftops. Our entire person must breathe Jesus, all our actions. Our whole life must cry out that we belong to Jesus, reflect a Gospel way of living. Our whole being must be a living proclamation, a reflection of Jesus.
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
Give them Jesus…
Jesus says to those who share his hidden life, make others holy by bringing me among them. Bring them the Gospel not by your words but by your example, not by proclaiming it but by living it. Make the salvation of all the one work of your life until Jesus Savior, which signifies perfectly what I am, expressed perfectly what you are too. How to do that? Be all things to all people with a single desire at heart, to give them Jesus.
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
