Faith is unconditional acceptance…
Faith is the unconditional acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and the determination to live and die with him.
–Francois-Xavier Nguyen Van Thuân (1928-2002)
Take refuge in the Lord…
Let us take refuge from this world. You can do this in spirit, even if you are kept here in the body. You can at the same time be here and present to the Lord. Your soul must hold fast to him, you must follow after him in your thoughts, you must tread his ways by faith, not in outward show. You must take refuge in him. He is your refuge and your strength.
–Saint Ambrose of Milan (339-397)
The will of God…
I would cross the oceans, I would go to any part of the world, if I knew this to be the will of God.
–Saint Joan Antide-Thouret (1765-1826)
Die to yourself…
Are you ready to die to yourself, to live with Christ to the end of your life to rise with Him and enjoy Him eternally?
–Saint Joan Antide-Thouret (1765-1826)
Love Jesus Christ…
Let us love Jesus Christ, let us love Him to the end of our lives and we will be sure to possess Him forever in heaven.
–Saint Joan Antide-Thouret (1765-1826)
Serve them always…
Remember to consider only Christ in the person of the poor. Serve them always as you would serve Christ himself that is to say with humility, respect, compassion and charity.
Our compassion for them has made us deprive ourselves even of the necessities of life
so as to meet their needs. Now, all we can do is weep with the poor. Serve Christ in the person of the poor.
–Saint Joan Antide-Thouret (1765-1826)
