Saint Patrick of Ireland
The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart so that I should recall my sins.

Saint Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Never flay in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the lord. Rejoice in yhour hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.

Saint Paul of the Cross
Keep interior peace at every cost; pay no attention to fears or scruples. Experience will teach you that those vain fears of sin, etc., which I call veritable follies, ought to disappear in the fire of love.

Saint Paul Miki
Having arrived at this moment of my existence, I believe that no one of you thinks I want to hide the truth. That is why I declare to you hat there is no other way of salvation than the one followed by Christians. Since this way teaches me to forgive my enemies and all who have offended me, I willingly forgive the king and all those who have desired my death. And I pray that they will obtain the desire of Christian baptism.

Saint Paula Frassinetti
Our Lord wills that you cling to Him alone! If your faith were greater how much more peaceful you would be even when great trials surround and oppress you.

Saint Peter of Alcantara
It is most certain that the malice of our own hearts is the principal cause that hinders us from attaining to our beatitude and everlasting happiness, because it makes us slow to godly actions, dull to virtuous exercises, and suggests a greater difficulty in them than there is, which if it were not a man might walk without any molestation in the way of virtue, and at length without labor attain to his desired end.

Saint Peter Claver
We must speak to them with our hands before we speak to them with our lips.

Saint Peter Chrysologus
Fasting is the soul of prayer, mercy is the lifeblood of fasting. So if you pray, fast; if you fast, show mercy; if you want your petition to be heard, hear the petition of others. If you do not close your ear to others, you open God's ear to yourself.

Saint Peter Damian
As the soul is the life of the body, so the Holy Spirit is the life of our souls.

Saint Peter Julian Eymard
It costs little to tell God we love Him when He is showering favors upon us; it is in the midst of the tempest that we must cry out to Him like Job: Although He should kill me, I will trust HIm.

Saint Philip Neri
We must pray incessantly for the gift of perseverance.

Where sin was hatched, let tears now wash the nest.

Saint Rosa Kim
Judge! I cannot give up me God. He is the Creator and Father to all of us. He loves virtue and punishes sin, so how could I abandon Him?

Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne
The more I reflect on the graces I have received, the more they astonish me and make me tremble.

Saint Rose of Viterbo
Prayer reveals to souls the vanity of earthly goods and pleasures. It fills them with light, strength and consolation; and gives them a foretaste of the calm bliss of our heavenly home.

Saint Rose of Lima
Apart from the cross there is no other ladder by which we may get to heaven.
