Grace is the mastery of truth, the teacher of discipline, the light of the heart, the comforter of affliction, the banisher of sorrow, the nurse of devotion.
–Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
In the Cross…
In the Cross is salvation; in the Cross is life; in the Cross is protection against our enemies; in the Cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the Cross is strength of mind; in the Cross is joy of spirit; in the Cross is excellence of virtue; in the Cross is perfection of holiness. There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the Cross.
–Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)
Grace of God…
When the grace of God comes to us we can do all things, but when it leaves us, we become poor and weak, abandoned, as it were, to affliction. Yet, in this condition we should not become dejected or despair. On the contrary, we should calmly await the will of God and bear whatever befalls us in praise of Jesus Christ; for after winter comes the summer, after night comes the day, and after the storm, a great calm.
–Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)

A man is no true Christian if he has no devotion to the Mother of Jesus Christ.
–Saint John Eudes (1601-1689)
Have recourse to Mary…
O sinner, be not discouraged, but have recourse to Mary in all you necessities. Call her to your assistance, for such is the divine Will that she should help in every kind of necessity.
–Saint Basil the Great (330-379)
