One hour from God…
More is gained in one hour from God’s good things than in a whole lifetime from your own.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Safely though every storm…
We shall steer safely through every storm so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Learn to love by loving…
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
–Saint Francis De Sales (1567-1622)
This sacramental union…
That every man might be intimately united with his goodness, he instituted the Sacrament of most holy Eucharist, in which every one may participate, to unite his Savior to himself really and by way of food… This sacramental union urges us and aids us towards spiritual union.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
When you have received him…
When you have received Him, stir up your heart to do Him homage; speak to Him about your spiritual life, gazing upon Him in your soul where He is present for your happiness; welcome Him as warmly as possible, and behave outwardly in such a way that your actions may give proof to all of His Presence.
–Saint Francis de Sales, (1567-1622)
Body and Blood of Christ…
The bread that you see on the altar is the Body of Christ as soon as it is sanctified by God’s word. The chalice, or better what is contained in the chalice, is the Blood of Christ as soon as it is sanctified by God’s word.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
