Wrong is wrong…
Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it, and right is right even if nobody is doing it.
–St. Augustine (354-430)
A living faith…
A living faith consists in thinking little of oneself and having tenderness toward others.
–Abba Poeman (a Desert Father)
Pure heart and chaste body…
God wishes all of us to be saved through Jesus Christ the Son and to receive him with our pure heart and a chaste body.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
Temptations you suffer…
Do not grieve over the temptations you suffer. When the Lord intends to bestow a particular virtue on us, He often permits us first to be tempted by the opposite vice. Therefore, look upon every temptation as an invitation to grow in a particular virtue and a promise by God that you will be successful, if only you stand fast.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
God gives grace…
We know certainly that our God calls us to a holy life. We know that he gives us every grace, every abundant grace; and though we are so weak of ourselves, this grace is able to carry us through every obstacle and difficulty.
— Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821)
Seek God alone…
The human heart is constantly seeking good things that will make it happy; but if it seeks them from creatures, it will never be satisfied, no matter how many it acquires. If it seeks God alone, God will satisfy all its desires.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
