Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them — every day begin the task anew.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Christ has no body now but yours; no hands, no feet on earth, but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world; Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good; Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Few souls understand what God would accomplish in them if they were to abandon themselves unreservedly to Him and if they were to allow His grace to mold them accordingly.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
God is never sought in vain, even when God cannot be found.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
Don’t be anxious about what you have, but about what you are!
–Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
