Many want a religion…
Many souls fail to find God because they want a religion which will remake society without remaking themselves.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Pride is the source…
There are very few people, even in the lowliest conditions, who do not have a good opinion of themselves. They regard themselves as far superior to their equals, and their detestable pride urges them to believe that they are indeed worth a great deal more than most other people. From this I conclude that pride is the source of all the vices and the cause of all the evils which have occurred, and which are still to come, in the course of the centuries. We carry our blindness so far that often we even glorify ourselves on account of things which really ought to cover us with confusion.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
True virtue has…
True virtue has no limits, but goes on and on, and especially holy charity, which is the virtue of virtues, and which having a definite object, would become infinite if it could meet with a heart capable of infinity. –Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Your inner peace…
Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, not even if your whole world seems upset. If you find that you have wandered away from the shelter of God, lead your heart back to Him quietly and simply. –Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Souls fall away…
Souls generally do not fall away from Christ because of the Creed; they first have difficulty with the Commandments.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Heart of Mary…
No created mind, no created heart, no human force is capable of knowing how much love the Heart of Mary had for the Lord.
–Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
