Go and set…
Go and set the whole world on fire.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
A peaceful heart…
God wants nothing from you but the gift of a peaceful heart.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
Love is shown…
Love is shown more in deeds than in words.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
A Christian cannot…
As a fish cannot swim without water, and as a bird cannot fly without air, so a Christian cannot advance a single step without Christ.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
God requires these three things…
God requires these three things of every person who has received baptism: correct faith of the soul, truth of the tongue, self-control of the body.
–Saint Gregory Nazianzen (329-c. 391)
Death is approaching…
Pause and reflect, for the day of death is approaching. I beg you, therefore, with all possible respect, not to forget the Lord or turn away from His commandments by reason of the cares and preoccupations of this world, for all those who are oblivious of Him and turn away from His commands are cursed and will be totally forgotten by Him (Ex. 33:13). And when the day of death does come, everything which they think they have will be taken from them. And the wiser and more powerful they may have been in this world, so much greater will be the punishments they will endure in hell (cf. Wis. 6:7)
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
