So blind are we in this mortal life, and so unaware of what will happen, so uncertain of even how we will think tommorow, that God could not take vengeance on a man more easily in this world than by granting his own foolish wishes.

-- St. Thomas Moore

If our life were not under Mary's protection, we might tremble for our perseverance and salvation.

-- St. Peter Julian Eymard

The greatest mercy of God is not to let those nations remain in peace with each other who are not at peace with God.

-- Saint Pio of Pietrelcina

God desires the least degree of obedience and submissiveness more than all those services you think of rendering Him.

-- St. John of the Cross

Run from places of sin as from the plague.

-- St. John Climacus

God has promised pardon to the one who repents, but He has not promised repentance to the one who sins!

-- St. Anselem of Canterbury

Our business is to love what God would have done. He wills our vocation as it is. Let us love that and not trifle away our time hankering after other people's vocations.

-- St. Francis de Sales
