Heaven is filled…
Heaven is filled with converted sinners of all kinds, and there is room for more.
–Saint Joseph Cafasso (1811-1860)
Sinners who repent…
Sinners that repent are still saved; both publicans and fornicators cleansed by repentance enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. The compassionate God still calls to Himself all that have turned away, and He awaits them and promises them mercy. The loving Father still receives His prodigal sons come back from a far country and He opens the doors of His house and clothes them in the best robe, and gives them each a ring on their hand and shoes on their feet and commands all the saints to rejoice in them.
–Saint Tikhon (1724-1783)
The time to be silent…
When you feel the assaults of passion and anger, then is the time to be silent as Jesus was silent in the midst of His ignominies and sufferings.
–Saint Paul of the Cross Saint (1694-1775)
Disorder in the family…
Disorder in society is the result of disorder in the family.
–Saint Angela Merici (1474-1540)
To live chastely…
Anyone, then, who desires to live chastely in Christ Jesus, must flee not only the mouse of lust, but even from its very scent.
–Saint Anthony of Padua (1195-1231)
Sorrow for sin is necessary, but…
Sorrow for sin is indeed necessary, but it should not be an endless preoccupation. You must dwell also on the glad remembrance of God’s loving kindness. Otherwise sadness will harden the heart and lead it more deeply into despair.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
