The Devil’s favorite bait…
Remember that the devil’s favorite bait for leading one into sin is, ‘Oh that is nothing to worry about.’
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
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)
The state of grace…
The state of grace is nothing other than purity, and it gives heaven to those who clothe themselves in it. Holiness, therefore, is simply the state of grace purified, illuminated, beautified by the most perfect purity, exempt not only from mortal sin but also from the smallest faults; purity will make saints of you! Everything lies in this!
–Saint Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868)
The Eucharist is…
The Eucharist is the life of the people. The Eucharist gives them a center of life. All can come together without the barriers of race or language in order to celebrate the feast days of the Church. It gives them a law of life, that of charity, of which it is the source; thus it forges between them a common bond, a Christian kinship
–Saint Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868)
Speak simply and candidly…
Speak simply and candidly to our Lord as with another self, as with your sister. Be a child who is full of love and surrendered to her good maker. Let it be an interior conversation with God more than a work of the mind… because it will express all the thoughts and needs of your heart.
–Saint Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868)
