As a mother delights in taking her child on her knees, in caressing and feeding him, so does our God delight in treating with love and tenderness those souls who give themselves entirely to Him, and place all their hopes in His goodness and bounty.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
He who knows how to forgive prepares for himself many graces from God. As often as I look upon the cross, so often will I forgive with all my heart.
–St. Faustina (1905-1938)
It’s true he was a sinner. But don’t pass so final a judgement. Have pity in your heart and don’t forget that he may yet be an Augustine, while you remain just another mediocrity.
–Saint Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975)
God is not a deceiver, that he should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
What can be more excellent than prayer; what is more profitable to our life; what sweeter to our souls; what more sublime, in the course of our whole life, than the practice of prayer!
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
One must do all one can do for everybody, expecting no return save from God only.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
