Faith beholds Jesus among us. If we are unable to seize his hand, let us prostrate ourselves at his feet. If we are unable to reach his head, let us wash his feet with our tears. Our repentance is the perfume of the Savior. See how costly is the compassion of the Savior.
–Saint Jerome (c. 340-420)
If the scandal comes from the truth, one must endure the scandal rather than conceal the truth.
–Saint Gregory the Great (590- 604)
All the efforts of the human mind cannot exhaust the essence of a single fly.
–Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Keep in mind God’s precept that states, “Judge not, and you will not be judged” (Lk. 6:37), and in no way meddle in the lives of others.
–Saint Symeon the New Theologian (949-1022)
Above all, always see Jesus in every person, and consequently treat each one not only as an equal and as a brother or sister, but also with great humility, respect, and selfless generosity.
–Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858–1916)
The Spirit raises our hearts to Heaven, guides the steps of the weak, and brings to perfection those who are making progress. He enlightens those who have been cleansed from every stain of sin and makes them spiritual by communion with himself.
–Saint Basil the Great (330-379)
