Have love for trials…
Have great love for trials and think of them as but a small way of pleasing your Bridegroom, who did not hesitate to die for you.
— Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Love Jesus above everything….
Love our Lord, Jesus Christ, above everything in the world, because the more you love Him, the more He will love you. Have charity always, for where charity is not found God is not there, even though he is everywhere.
–Saint John of God (1495-1550)

Have charity, first for our own souls, then with the neighbor. For, as water quenches fire, so charity quenches sin.

The Catholic Church is but one; for as the Bridegroom is one, the Bride must be one also. Between the Bridegroom and the Bride there is one and the same spirit.

The source of all grace…
The source of all grace is God’s love for us, and he has revealed this not just in words but also in deeds.
