Remember Christ crucified…
Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you remember Christ crucified and be silent.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
The Virgin comes…
The Virgin weighed with the Word of God, comes down the road; if only you’ll shelter her.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Mother of grace…
No one who shall invoke this Mother of Grace with devotion and perseverance can possibly perish forever.
–Saint John Eudes (1601-1689)
Our wandering minds…
Though our bodies may be in an attitude of prayer and our mouths babbling some pious formula, can we really claim to be praying in the presence of God when our minds are wandering hither and thither in home and market-place?
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Prayer is a harbor…
Prayer is a harbor in the storms of life, an anchor for those who are storm-tossed, the treasure of the poor, the security of the rich, the healing of the sick, the preservation of health. Prayer banishes evil things, and preserve the good.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Mary was made…
Mary was made Mother of God to obtain salvation for many who, on account of their wicked lives, could not be saved according to the rigor of Divine justice, but might be saved with the help of her sweet mercy and powerful intercession.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
