If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor. If you wish God to anticipate your wants, provide those of the needy without waiting for them to ask you. Especially anticipate the needs of those who are ashamed to beg. To make them ask for alms is to make them buy it.
- St. Thomas of Villanova
All the wealth in the world cannot be compared with the happiness of living together happily united.
- Blessed Margaret d'Youville
We are at Jesus' disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right. We must say, "I belong to you. You can do whatever you like." And this ..is our strength, and this is the joy of the Lord.
- Mother Teresa
We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.
- St. Teresa of Avila
He alone loves the Creator perfectly who manifests a pure love for his neighbor.
- St. Bede the Venerable
Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for he who created you has made you holy, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother. Blessed be you, my God, for having created me.
- St. Clare of Assisi
The Blessed Eucharist is the perfect Sacrament of the Lord's Passion, since It contains Christ Himself and his Passion.
- St. Thomas Aquinas
