You have crucified Him…
Nor did demons crucify him; it is you who have crucified him and crucify him still, when you delight in your vices and sins.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181 – 1226)
Dies in mortal sin…
We should all realize that no matter where or how a man dies, if he is in the state of mortal sin and does not repent, when he could have done so and did not, the Devil tears his soul from his body with such anguish and distress that only a person who has experienced it can appreciate it.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
Sin is loving and hating…
[Sin is] loving what God hates, and hating what God loves.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Lose yourself wholly…
Lose yourself wholly;
and the more you lose,
the more you will find. –Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
O eternal Trinity…
You, O eternal Trinity, are a deep sea,
into which the more I enter the more I find,
and the more I find the more I seek.
The soul cannot be satiated in your abyss,
for she continually hungers after you, the eternal Trinity,
desiring to see you with the light of your light.
As the heart desires the springs of living water,
so my soul desires to leave the prison of this dark body
and see you in truth.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Humanity has nothing…
Humanity has nothing so much in common with God as the ability to do good.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
