Attain holiness…
All of us can attain to Christian virtue and holiness, no matter in what condition of life we live and no matter what our life work may be.
–Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
The means of sanctifying yourself…
Prayer, good reading, the frequentation of the sacraments, with the proper dispositions, and particularly the flight of idleness – these are, believe me, the means of sanctifying yourself.
–Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775)
Holiness and perfection…
All holiness and perfection of soul lies in our love for Jesus Christ our God, who is our Redeemer and our supreme good.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
The power and love of God…
Remember, never to fear the power of evil more than your trust in the power and love of God.
–Hermas (First Century)
Towards the goal…
Let us run towards the goal which from the beginning has been handed down to us, the goal which is peace; and let us fix our gaze on the Creator of the whole universe, and cling to his splendid and superlative gifts of peace.
–Saint Clement (First Century)
Control your appetites…
Control your appetites before they control you.
–Saint John Climacus (c. 525-606)
