When working for a Master…
Nothing seems tiresome or painful when you are working for a Master who pays well; who rewards even a cup of cold water given for love of Him.
–Saint Dominic Savio (1842-1857)
To serve others…
To serve others, I need gentleness, humility, abjection, and charity. In every sick person I should see, not a human being, but Jesus, and so should show him respect, love, compassion, joy, and gratitude at being able to serve him, zeal and gentleness. I should serve the sick as I do the poor, making myself do the lowliest services for them all, as Jesus washed the apostles’ feet. I must tolerate the presence of evil people, as long as their wickedness is not corrupting others — as Jesus tolerated Judas.
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
Good example and words…
Good example is the most efficacious apostolate. You must be as lighted lanterns and shine like brilliant chandeliers. By your good example and your words, animate others to know and love God.
–Saint Mary Joseph Rosello (1811-1880)
Hands and heart…
The hands should be at work, the heart with God.
–Saint Mary Joseph Rosello (1811-1880)
A true Christian goes against…
A fish that is alive swims against the flow of water. One that is dead floats down with the water. A true Christian goes against the current of sinful age. A false one is swept away by its swiftness.
–Saint Philaret of Moscow (1782-1867)
Called to great hazards…
If we are intended for great ends, we are called to great hazards.
–Blessed John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
