Touch the hearts…
To touch the hearts of your students is the greatest miracle you can perform.
–Saint John Baptist de la Salle (1651-1719)
Christ understands…
Christ, like a skillful physician, understands the weakness of men. He loves to teach the ignorant and the erring he turns again to his own true way. He is easily found by those who live by faith and to those of pure eye and holy heart, who desire to knock at the door, he opens immediately.
–Saint Hippolytus (170-236)
The Word who is with us…
The Word who became all things for us is close to us, our Lord Jesus Christ who promises to remain with us always. He cries out, saying: ‘See, I am with you all the days of this age.’ He is himself the shepherd, the high priest, the way and the door, and has become all things at once for us.
–Saint Athanasius the Great (c. 296-373)
A friend with whom we may…
No medicine is more valuable, none more efficacious, none better suited to the cure of all our temporal ills than a friend, to whom we may turn for consolation in time of trouble, and with whom we may share our happiness in time of joy.
— Saint Aelred of Rievaulx 1110-1167)
By humble, ordinary…
By humble, ordinary good works the love of God is nourished in many hearts.
— Walter Hilton (1340-1396)
Prayer is but a rising…
Prayer is naught but a rising desire of the heart into God by withdrawing of the heart from all earthly thoughts.
–Walter Hilton (1340-1396)
