A Christian should…
A Christian should be an Alleluia from head to foot.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Better truth than scandal….
It is better that the truth be known than that scandal be covered up.
–St. Augustine (354-430)
Be faithful to our vocation…
How important it is that we Christians are faithful to our vocation! Every authentic believer is always travelling his own personal itinerary of faith, and at the same time, with the little light that he carries within himself, can and must be a help to those alongside him, and even help the one for whom finding the way that leads to Christ is difficult.
–Pope Benedict XVI (1927-
The Church is tossed by…
That little ship offers us a figure of the church, for she is tossed by sea (that is, the world) and by the waves (that is, persecutions and temptations), with the Lord patiently sleeping, as it were, until awakened by the prayers of the saints, he checks the world and restores tranquility to his own.
–Tertullian (c. 160 – c. 225 AD)
Love one another…
The Lord does not say that the proof of his disciples’ faithfulness will be the working of wondrous miracles . . . What does He tell them? “You shall be known as my disciples if you love one another.”
–Saint Basil the Great (330-379)
Troubles and disorders…
The whole course of Christianity from the first… is but one series of troubles and disorders. Every century is like every other, and to those who live in it seems worse than all times.
–Blessed John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
