To receive worthily…
To receive the Blessed Sacrament worthily, one must have a great desire for union with Jesus Christ.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
The Holy Spirit rests…
The Holy Spirit rests in the soul of the just like the dove in her nest, hatching good desires in a pure soul, as the dove hatches her young. –
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Saints have been tempted…
And even more, since the time of Adam, you will not find a saint who has not been tempted — some in one way, some in another — and the greatest saints are those who have been tempted the most. If Our Lord was tempted, it was in order to show us that we must be also. It follows, therefore, that we must expect temptation.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Everyone has his cross…
On this earth everyone has his cross. But we must act in such a way that we be not the bad, but good thief.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Have the courage…
If you have the courage to imitate Mary Magdalene in her sins, have the courage to imitate her penance!
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Let your humility grow…
As gifts increase in you, let your humility grow, for you must consider that everything is given to you on loan.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
