Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin. All hope consists in confession. In confession there is a chance for mercy. Believe it firmly. Do not doubt, do not hesitate, never despair of the mercy of God. Hope and have confidence in confession.
- St. Isidore of Seville
Let us therefore give ourselves to God with a great desire to begin to live thus, and beg Him to destroy in us the life of the world of sin, and to establish His life within us.
- St. John Eudes
My daughter, I see more Pharisees among Christians than there were around Pilate.
- St. Margaret of Cortona
Charity unites us to God... There is nothing mean in charity, nothing arrogant. Charity knows no schism, does not rebel, does all things in concord. In charity all the elect of God have been made perfect.
- Pope St. Clement I
Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender.
- St. Therese of Lisieux
Christ said, 'I am the Truth'; he did not say 'I am the custom.'
- St. Toribio
Whatever you do, think not of yourself, but of God.
- St. Vincent Ferrer
