Saint Crispin of Viterbo (1668-1750)

Let us love God who deserves it! 

St. Paschal Baylon (1540 - 1592)

Whoever wants to save his soul must have three hearts in one: He must have the heart of a Son towards God, he must have the heart of a mother towards his neighbor, and he must have the heart of a judge towards himself. 

Saint Ursula Ledochowska (1865-1939)

It is not enough to pray "Thy kingdom come", but to work so that the Kingdom of God will exist among us today. - 

Saint Joseph Benedict Cottolengo (1786-1842)

Zeal for the glory of God and for the benefit of the sick should never be separated. 

Saint Columba (521-597)

O Lord, grant us that love which can never die, which will enkindle our lamps but not extinguish them, so that they may shine in us and bring light to others. Most dear Savior, enkindle our lamps that they may shine forever in your temple. May we receive unquenchable light from you so that our darkness will be illuminated and the darkness of the world will be made less. Amen. 

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (on the Visitation)

One of the most beautiful moments in history was that when pregnancy met pregnancy, when child-bearers became the first heralds of the King of Kings. All pagan religions begin with the teachings of adults, but Christianity begins with the birth of a Child. 

Saint Joseph Marello (1844-1895)

But first let me again urge you to pray and pray very much without worrying about anything else. He who is worried and full of anxiety in his work does an offense to God and does not say the Our Father from the heart. 

Saint Hannibal Mary di Francia (1851-1927)

What are these few orphans we attend to, these few people we bring the good news to, compared to the millions who are lost and abandoned as sheep without a shepherd? I looked for an answer and I found a complete one in the words of Jesus: "Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers to gather his harvest". I concluded then that I had found the secret key to all good works and to the salvation of all souls. 

Saint Bede the Venerable (672-735)

He alone loves the Creator perfectly who manifests a pure love for his neighbor.

Blessed Mary Elizabeth Hesselblad (1870-1957)

We must nourish a great love for God and our neighbors; a strong love, an ardent love, a love that burns away imperfections, a love that gently bears an act of impatience or a bitter word, a love that lets an inadvertence or act of neglect pass without comment, a love that lends itself readily to an act of charity. 

Saint Isidore the Farmer (1070-1130)

Sir, it may be true that I am later at my work than some of the other laborers, but I do my utmost to make up for the few minutes snatched for prayer; I pray you compare my work with theirs, and if you find I have defrauded you in the least, gladly will I make amends by paying you out of my private store. 

Saint Marcelino Champagnat (1789-1840)

I can never see a child without wanting to tell him how much Jesus Christ loves him. 

Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1423)

Lord, you know what I am wanting. If it is your will that I have it…. But if not, do not be cross, good Lord, for I want nothing but your will.
