To be dead with Christ…
To be dead with Christ, is to hate and turn from sin; and to live with Him, is to have our hearts and minds turned towards God and Heaven.
–Blessed John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
Gaze at the Shepherd…
She does not look at the paths on which she is walking; she simply gazes at the Shepherd who is leading her.

Have God as the center…
If you have God as the center of all your action, then you will reach the goal.
–Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901-1925)
Speak about prayer and faith…
If you want with a few words to benefit one who is eager to learn, speak to him about prayer, right faith, and the patient acceptance of what comes. For all else that is good is found through these.
–Saint Mark the Ascetic (Fifth Century)
How can patience be…
How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity test it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.
–Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471)
Remember Christian who…
Christian, recognize your dignity and, now that you share in God’s own nature, do not return to your former base condition by sinning. Remember who is your head and of whose body you are a member. Never forget that you have been rescued from the power of darkness and brought into the light of the Kingdom of God.
–Saint Leo the Great (c. 400-461)
