Redeemed from myself…
Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself!
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Walk with God continually…
Take God for your spouse and friend and walk with Him continually, and you will not sin, will learn to love, and the things you must do will work out prosperously for you.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Reading the lives of Saints…
Reading the lives of the Saints is a great means to preserve piety.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
We can know God personally…
Jesus makes a claim which no one would have dared to make: He is the perfect revelation of God. Our knowledge of God is not simply limited to knowing something about God – who he is and what he is like. We can know God personally and be united with him in a relationship of love, trust, and friendship. Jesus makes it possible for each of us to personally know God as our Father. To see Jesus is to see what God is like. In Jesus we see the perfect love of God – a God who cares intensely and who yearns over men and women, loving them to the point of laying down his life for them upon the cross.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Read the works…
It is very useful for those who minister the Word of God to give themselves up to prayer, to read the works of authors who’s names begin with “S”, such as St. Augustine, St. Bernard, etc.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
In visiting the sick…
In order the better to gain souls, in visiting the sick, we ought to imagine that what we do for the sick man we are doing for Christ Himself; we shall thus perform this work of mercy with more love and greater spiritual profit.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
