It is not God’s way that great blessings should descend without the sacrifice first of great sufferings. If the truth is to be spread to any wide extent among the people, how can we dream, how can we hope, that trial and trouble shall not accompany its going forth.
–Blessed John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
May Christ be heard in our language, may Christ be seen in our life, may he be perceived in our hearts.
–Saint Peter Damian (1007-1072)
I will go anywhere and do anything in order to communicate the love of Jesus to those who do not know Him or have forgotten Him.
–Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917)
We should traverse the whole world to make Jesus Christ known and loved… A God who loves us so much! Can we not love him with all our souls, no matter what the sacrifice?
–Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917)
We must speak to them with our hands before we speak to them with our lips.
–Saint Peter Claver (1581-1654)
Many, many people hereabouts are not becoming Christians for one reason only: there is nobody to make them Christians.
–Saint Francis Xavier (1506-1552)
