Bear great trials…
We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
At the Eucharist…
At the Eucharist we receive what we are and we become what we receive.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Habit becomes necessity…
Lust indulged became habit, and habit unresisted became necessity.
— Saint Augustine (354-430)
Our religion is false…
All our religion is but a false religion, and all our virtues are mere illusions and we ourselves are only hypocrites in the sight of God, if we have not that universal charity for everyone – for the good, and for the bad, for the poor and for the rich, and for all those who do us harm as much as those who do us good.
— Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Jesus found a way…
Jesus Christ found a way by which He could ascend into Heaven and yet remain on the earth. He instituted the adorable Sacrament of the Eucharist so that He might stay with us, and be the Food of our soul; that He might console us and be our Companion.
— Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
If we really loved…
If we really loved the good God, we should make it our joy and happiness to come and spend a few moments to adore Him, and ask Him for the grace of forgiveness; and we should regard those moments as the happiest of our lives.
— Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
