Your unhappiness is not due to your want of a fortune or high position or fame or sufficient vitamins. It is due not to a want of something outside of you, but to a want of something inside you. You were made for perfect happiness. No wonder everything short of God disappoints you.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Divine goodness not only does not reject the repentant soul, but always seeks to find even the obstinate.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Don’t imitate those who deceive themselves by saying, ‘I will sin and then go to confession.’ How do you know that you will have time to make your confession? Isn’t it madness to wound yourself in the hope that a doctor will be found to heal the wound?”
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Never see a need without trying to do something about it.
–Blessed Mary Mackillop (1842-1909)
I think that there is no passage of the Gospel that has made a deeper impression on me or changed my life more than this one: “Whatever you do to one of these little ones, you do it to me.”
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
If you take little account of yourself, you will have peace, wherever you live.
–Abba Poeman (c. 340 – c. 450)
