Take the holy crucifix in your hands, kiss its wounds with great love, and ask Him to preach you a sermon. Listen to what the thorns, the nails, and that Divine Blood say to you.  Oh! What a sermon.

-- St. Paul of the Cross

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

-- Words on the Miraculous Medal revealed to Catherine Laboure

Stand fast, therefore, in this conduct and follow the example of the Lord, 'firm and unchangeable in faith, lovers of the brotherhood, loving each other, united in truth,' helping each other with the mildness of the Lord, despising no man.

-- St. Polycarp (Letter to Philippians)

The human nature of God's Son, not by itself but by its union with the Word, knew and showed forth in itself everything that pertains to God.

-- St. Maximus the Confessor

In giving us His Son, His only Word (for He possesses no other), He spoke everything to us at once in This sole Word - and He has no more to say. . . because what He spoke before to the prophets in parts, He has now spoken all at once by giving us the All Who is His Son. Any person questioning God or desiring some vision or revelation would be guilty not only of foolish behaviour but also of offending Him, by not fixing his eyes entirely upon Christ and by living with the desire for some other novelty.

-- St. John of the Cross

Never will anyone who says his Rosary every day be led astray. This is a statement that I would gladly sign with my blood.

-- St. Louis de Montfort

Holy Mother Church believes that she should celebrate the saving work of her divine Spouse in a sacred commemoration on certain days throughout the course of the year. Once each week, on the day which she has called the Lord's Day, she keeps the memory of the Lord's resurrection. She also celebrates it once every year, together with his blessed Passion, at Easter, that most solemn of all feasts. In the course of the year, moreover, she unfolds the whole mystery of Christ .... Thus recalling the mysteries of the redemption, she opens up to the faithful the riches of her Lord's powers and merits, so that these are in some way made present in every age; the faithful lay hold of them and are filled with saving grace.
