Quote for the Day

[Shin]

 

'This is a life which neither a pagan nor an unbelieving Jew may have and possess -- nor, for that matter, any Christian who is a slave to his vices and sins. It is a life prepared only for those who both believe and live without blemish.'

St. Niceta of Remesiana

[Shin]

'Keep beating your breast and crying out: "From my secret sins cleanse me, O Lord, and from those of others spare thy servant." Once a man longs to be cleansed of his hidden sins, he loses all joy in being soiled by such things.'

St. Phillip Neri

Be Like Children

Little children follow and obey their father. They love their mother. They know nothing of covetousness, ill-will, bad temper, arrogance and lying. This state of mind opens the road to heaven. To imitate our Lord’s own humility, we must return to the simplicity of God’s little ones.

St. Hillary of Poirtiers

'Wrestle for your own soul, especially in such days as these.'

St. Cyril of Jerusalem

[odhiambo]

“God freely created us so that we might know, love, and serve him in this life and be happy with him forever. God's purpose in creating us is to draw forth from us a response of love and service here on earth, so that we may attain our goal of everlasting happiness with him in heaven.
All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully.
As a result, we ought to appreciate and use these gifts of God insofar as they help us toward our goal of loving service and union with God. But insofar as any created things hinder our progress toward our goal, we ought to let them go.”
Ignatius of Loyola

[Shin]

That we might know, love, and serve Him. . .
