It is not those who commit the least faults who are most holy, but those who have the greatest courage, the greatest generosity, the greatest love, who make the boldest efforts to overcome themselves, and are not immoderately apprehensive of tripping.
–Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Love to pray. Feel often during the day the need for prayer and take trouble to pray. God is always speaking to us. Listen to Him. He wants from us deep love, compassion and forgiveness.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Love of our neighbor consists of three things: to desire the greater good everyone; to do what good we can when we can; to bear, excuse, and hide other’s faults.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Jesus on the Cross said to the disciple whom He loved: “Behold your Mother!” How sweet are those words to the Christian who is able to understand what depths of love they contain!
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
The Blessed Virgin is like a good mother who, not content with looking after all her children in general, watches over each one separately.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
