God wants our soul to be…
Now realize that this is how God wants our soul to be, without any selfish love of ourselves or of others is in between us, just as God loves us without anything in between.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Prayer is…
Prayer is helplessness casting itself on Power, infirmity leaning on Strength, misery reaching to Mercy, and a prisoner clamoring for Relief.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
It was to a virgin woman…
It was to a virgin woman that the birth of the Son of God was announced. It was to a fallen woman that his resurrection was announced.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
To love is to be transformed…
To love is to be transformed into what we love. To love God is therefore to be transformed into God.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Courage follows repentance…
Pay attention carefully. After the sin comes the shame; courage follows repentance. Did you pay attention to what I said? Satan upsets the order; he gives the courage to sin and the shame to repentance.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
If we were true Christians…
There would be no need for sermons if our lives were shining; there would be no need for words if we bore witness with our deeds; there would be no more pagans if we were true Christians.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
