Fight all error…
Fight all error, but do it with good humor, patience, kindness, and love. Harshness will damage your own soul and spoil the best cause.
— Saint John Cantius (1390-1473)
The saints speak…
Each of us can discuss God inasmuch as he has known the grace of the Holy Spirit; for how can we think of or discuss what we haven’t seen, or haven’t head of, or don’t know? The saints say that they have seen God, but there are people who say that there is no God. Clearly, they say this because they haven’t known God, but this does not at all mean that He is not. The saints speak of that which they have truly seen and know.
— Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938)
Love in your hearts…
Have love in your hearts but repress the tendency to appear devout.
— Saint Maria Mazzarello (1837-1881)
Charity burning in our hearts…
May all our words, actions and behavior always be for the instruction and edification of those who have dealings with us, always having charity burning in our hearts.
— Saint Angela Merici (1474-1540)
Have pure intentions…
In the fulfillment of your duties, let your intentions be so pure that you reject from your actions and the other motive than the glory of God and salvation of souls.
— Saint Angela Merici (1474-1540)
Without the passion of Christ…
The Church has always taught that all our penance without Christ’s passion is not worth a pea.
— Saint Thomas More 1478-1535)
