Charity may be…
Charity may be a very short word, but with its tremendous meaning of pure love, it sums up man’s entire relation to God and to his neighbor.
–Saint Aelred of Rievaulx (1110-1167)
God is charity…
It is by the path of love, which is charity, that God draws near to man, and man to God. But where charity is not found, God cannot dwell. If, then, we possess charity, we possess God, for “God is Charity.”
–Saint Albert the Great (c. 1206-1280)
With faith and good works…
Girded with faith and the performance of good works, let us follow in His paths by the guidance of the Gospel.
–Saint Benedict (480-547)
Follow the light of faith…
It is absolutely necessary, both for our advancement and the salvation of others, to follow always and in all things the beautiful light of faith.
— Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660)
Sufferings will be…
Sufferings will be sweet and pleasant to us while we are with Him; and the greatest pleasures will be, without Him, a cruel punishment to us.
–Brother Lawrence (1614-1691)
Your God is…
Your God is ever beside you — indeed, He is even within you.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
