St. Clare of Assisi Wisdom

We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become.
If we love things, we become a thing. If we love nothing, we become nothing.
Imitation is not a literal mimicking of Christ, rather
it means becoming the image of the beloved,
an image disclosed through transformation. This means
we are to become vessels of God’s compassionate love for others.

St. Clare of Assisi

 

 

St. Bonaventure: Voice of the Heart

When we pray, the voice of the heart
must be heard more
than that proceeding from the mouth.

St. Maximilian Kolbe: Queen Even Of God's Heart

Prayer is powerful beyond limits when we turn to the Immaculata 
who is queen even of God's heart.

St. Bernadette Soubirous: Courage Through Prayer

Courage, my soul,
through prayer we can do all that is asked of us.
The Heart of Jesus is there:
let us knock.

Eucharistic Adoration As Spiritual Weapon

Listen: There are two things the Devil is deathly afraid of: fervent Communions and frequent visits to the Blessed Sacrament. 

Do you want Our Lord to grant you many graces? Visit him often. 

Do you want Him to grant you only a few? Visit Him only seldom. 

Do you want the Devil to attack you? Rarely visit the Blessed Sacrament. 

Do you want the Devil to flee from you? Visit Jesus often.

Do you want to overcome the Devil? Take refuge at Jesus’ feet. 

Do you want to be overcome by the Devil? Give up visiting Jesus. 

Visiting the Blessed Sacrament is essential, my dear boys, if you want to overcome the Devil. Therefore, make frequent visits to Jesus. If you do that, the Devil will never prevail against you. 

- St. John Bosco

 

 

St. Alphonsus Liguori: Today

Today God invites you to do good;
do it therefore today.
Tomorrow you may not have time, or
God may no longer call you to do it.

St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori

 

St. Therese of Lisieux: A Source of Merit!

Do not imagine that love can be found without suffering, for we carry with us our human nature; and yet, what a source of merit it is!

St. Therese of Lisieux

St. Therese of Lisieux: Furnace of Love

I cherish the hope that one day Thou wilt swoop down upon me and carry me up until I am lost, a willing victim, in the fiery heart of the furnace of Love.

-St. Therese of Lisieux

 

 

 

St. Augustine: The Truth!

People hate the truth
for the sake of whatever it is they love more than the truth.
They love truth when it shines warmly upon them
and hate it
when it rebukes them.

St. Augustine of Hippo
