To touch God…
To touch God a little with our mind is a great blessing, to grasp him is impossible.

Guard our tongue…
Let us always guard our tongue; not that it should always be silent, but that it should speak at the proper time.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Christ understands…
Christ, like a skillful physician, understands the weakness of men. He loves to teach the ignorant and the erring he turns again to his own true way. He is easily found by those who live by faith and to those of pure eye and holy heart, who desire to knock at the door, he opens immediately.
–Saint Hippolytus (170-236)
A friend with whom we may…
No medicine is more valuable, none more efficacious, none better suited to the cure of all our temporal ills than a friend, to whom we may turn for consolation in time of trouble, and with whom we may share our happiness in time of joy.
— Saint Aelred of Rievaulx 1110-1167)
What makes a saint…
To follow God’s will with all one’s heart: that is what makes one a saint.
–Marcel Nguyễn Tân Văn (1928–1959)
Let the meaning of your words…
Let the meaning of your words shine forth, let it blaze out from them. Let no word escape your lips in vain or be uttered without depth of meaning.
–Saint Ambrose of Milan (339-397)
