We must rise after any fall…
We must rise speedily after any fall in the exercise of self-denial, with hatred of the fault, hope of pardon and resolution of amendment.
–Saint Louis de Blois (1506-1566)
Earth and heaven…
How insignificant is the earth and earthly life in comparison with heaven, with Christ’s eternal kingdom! And yet we attach ourselves so much to the earthly things and care so little for the salvation of the soul, for eternal life!
–Saint John of Kronstadt (1829-1908)
Disagreeable sin…
Nothing ought to be so disagreeable to a servant of God but sin.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
By anxieties and worries…
By the anxieties and worries of this life Satan tries to dull man’s heart and make a dwelling for himself there.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
You have crucified Him…
Nor did demons crucify him; it is you who have crucified him and crucify him still, when you delight in your vices and sins.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181 – 1226)
Dies in mortal sin…
We should all realize that no matter where or how a man dies, if he is in the state of mortal sin and does not repent, when he could have done so and did not, the Devil tears his soul from his body with such anguish and distress that only a person who has experienced it can appreciate it.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
