Practice sweet silence…
If you do not practice sweet silence, it is impossible to taste the things of God.
–Saint Mary Magdalen de Pazzi (1566-1607)
A cheerful attitude…
A cheerful attitude will sustain you in all your difficulties, trials and sufferings in life.
–Blessed Laura Vicuna (1891-1904)
Be cheerful…
Be cheerful! Jesus will take care of everything. Let us pay no attention to people who do not know what they are talking about. Let us trust in Jesus and our heavenly Mother, and everything will work out well.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Marriage has three blessings…
Marriage has three blessings. The first is children, to be received and raised for God’s service. The second is the loyal faithfulness by which each serves the other. The third is the sacrament of matrimony, which signifies the inseparable union of Christ with His Church.
–Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Eternal life consists…
Whatever is delightful is there in superabundance. If delights are sought, there is supreme and most perfect delight. It is said of God, the supreme good: ‘Boundless delights are in your right hand.’ Again, eternal life consists of the joyous community of all the blessed, a community of supreme delight, since everyone will share all that is good with all the blessed. Everyone will love everyone else as himself, and therefore will rejoice in another’s good as in his own. So it follows that the happiness and joy of each grows in proportion to the joy of all.
–Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Praise of the Mother praises the Son…
Let us not imagine that we obscure the glory of the Son by the great praise we lavish on the Mother; for the more she is honored, the greater is the glory of her Son. There can be no doubt that whatever we say in praise of the Mother gives equal praise to the Son.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
