The Holy Spirit…
We read in sacred Scripture that the Holy Spirit breathes where he pleases, and we should also realize that he breathes when he pleases.
–Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)

–Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
That man, indeed, is in danger who does not throughout his whole life place before himself the will of God as his goal, so that in health he shows forth the labor of love by his zeal for the works of the Lord and in sickness displays endurance and cheerful patience. The first and greatest peril is that by not doing the will of God, he separates himself from the Lord and cuts himself off from fellowship with his own brothers; second, that he ventures, although though undeserving, to claim a share in the blessings prepared for those who are worthy.
–Saint Basil the Great (330-379)
A Christian should be an Alleluia from head to foot.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
God’s love is unconditional. Be sure that yours is too!
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up.
–St. Augustine (354-430)
Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book: the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead, He set before your eyes the things that He had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
