Carrying the cross…
No other grace can be compared with that of carrying the cross out of love for our Lord.
–Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647- 1690)
God speaks to souls…
God speaks to souls through words uttered by pious people, by sermons or good books, and in many other such ways. Sometimes he calls souls by means of sickness or troubles, or by some truth He teaches them during prayer, for tepid as they may be in seeking Him, yet God holds them very dear.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Holiness is a gift…
Holiness is a gift from Jesus to his Church… There is not one path for becoming holy… The first rule of sanctity: It is necessary that Christ grows, and we become less.
–Pope Francis (1936-
To become saints…
It is a trustworthy saying that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners (1 Tim. 1:15). But we deceive ourselves if we think that we are saved while remaining sinners. Christ saves those sinners by giving them the means to become saints.
–Saint Philaret of Moscow (1782-1867)
God is a living spring…
Pray with great confidence, with confidence based upon the goodness and infinite generosity of God and upon the promises of Jesus Christ. God is a spring of living water which flows unceasingly into the hearts of those who pray
–Saint Louis de Montfort (1673-1716)
Grace to live…
Jesus will assist you and give you the grace to live a heavenly life and nothing whatever will be able to separate you from His love.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
