Joys and consolations…
Our soul can find in the Blessed Sacrament all the joys and consolations it desires.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Put on unity…
Let us put on unity of mind, thinking humble thoughts, exercising self-control, keeping ourselves far from all backbiting and slander, being righteous in deed.
–Saint Clement (First Century)
Do nothing but…
Let us behave like temples of God, so that it may be clear that God dwells in us. Let our doings not fall away from the Spirit, but let us, who have begun to be heavenly and spiritual, consider and do nothing but heavenly and spiritual things.
–Saint Cyprian of Carthage (c. 200-258)
Love God with…
Fix your whole heart upon God, and love Him with all your strength, for without this no one can be saved.
–Saint Louis IX (1214-1270)
Why we pray…
We pray, not for our own pleasure and entertainment, but to find the strength to serve God.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Believe in…
It is a fatal error to mistake mere historical belief for saving faith. A person may firmly believe in his or her religion historically, and yet have no part nor portion therein practically and savingly. He or she must not only believe this faith, but must believe IN his or her faith.
–Saint Thomas More (1478-1535)
