Attractive floor covering…
There is your brother, naked, crying, and you stand there confused over the choice of an attractive floor covering.
–Saint Ambrose of Milan (339-397)
Consider as an enemy…
Who, indeed, can still consider as an enemy him with whom he has uttered the same prayer to God?
–Saint Basil the Great (330-379)
Take on Mary’s view…
Let us renounce our own human views to take on Mary’s, and so be led by her Spirit in all things. Let us adopt her outlook, her thoughts in everything. Let us not allow our natural inclinations to creep in.
–Venerable Edel Quinn (1907-1944)
An idealist who does…
An idealist who does not try to put his ideals into practice, is not worth much.
–Venerable Edel Quinn (1907-1944)
Impossible for us…
What is impossible for us is possible for Him; take Him at His word.
–Venerable Edel Quinn (1907-1944)
Think of the Passion…
No one at all can humbly read or think of the passion of our Lord… without reaping from this exercise fruit most useful for salvation; just as no one could touch flour or balm, even with the tips of his fingers, without having his fingers whitened with flour and perfumed with the odor of balm. Even if the image of Jesus crucified be only piously glanced at, the look will not have been in vain.
–Saint Louis de Blois (1506-1566)
