If you wish to walk securely and be certain of your salvation, if you aspire to a great crown in Heaven that will never fade, love and honor Mary, and strive to make her known, loved, and honored by others.
–Saint Joseph Cafasso (1811-1860)
Let us highly esteem devotion to the Blessed Virgin, and let us lose no opportunity of inspiring others with it.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
Fulfill your ministry with all the affection of your heart.
–Saint John Baptist de la Salle (1651-1719)
In order to avoid discord, never contradict anyone except in case of sin or some danger to a neighbor; and when necessary to contradict others, do it with tact and not with temper.
— Saint Louis IX (1214-1270)
Just as sailors, in the hope of gain, gladly endure the burning heat of the sun, so those who hate wickedness gladly accept reproof. For the former contend with the winds, the latter with passions.
–Saint Mark the Ascetic (Fifth Century)
When someone boasts about his virtues, do not try to help him by reproving him. For a man cannot love showing off and at the same time love the truth.
–Saint Mark the Ascetic (Fifth Century)
