St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and St. Gerard Majella

[Shin]

'Margaret Mary Alacoque said: "I wanted no one to remember me save to scorn me, humble me and insult me; for indeed, that is all I deserved."'

St. Bernadette Soubirous

'Again I say, do not worry over your faults, but when you have committed any, say quite trustfully to the all-loving Heart of Jesus: "O my only Love, pay for Thy poor slave and repair the evil that I have just done."'

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

'We cannot be saved without a struggle, for this life is a continual warfare. But be of good courage, do not be disheartened or troubled about your faults, but always try to draw from them a love of abjection, which must never for a moment be absent from your heart.'

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

'Doubtless you are one of those plants which the Heavenly Father has set in His Garden to cultivate with His own Hand, to preserve by His Providence, to unfold by His grace, and to cause to flower in the odor of sweetness by the warmth of His sacred love, provided that you courageously resist the opposition the enemy will strive to raise.'

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

'I think that this fear which Our Lord makes you feel is the result of His very great love for you; for seeing that your love for Him is not powerful enough to make you do good and avoid evil, He mingles fear with love, that the two together may make you do what He desires of you.'

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

'To suffer and not to suffer for God is torment.'

St. Gerard Majella
