QUOTATION: Souls in Purgatory

I believe no happiness can be found worthy to be compared with that of a soul in Purgatory except that of the saints in Paradise; and day by day  this happiness grows as God flows into these souls, more and more as the hindrance to His entrance is consumed.

--St. Catherine of Genoa

QUOTATION: To Be With God in Everything

When I eat or drink, move or stand still, speak or keep silent, sleep or wake, see, hear, or think; whether I am in church, at home, or in the street, in bad health or good, dying or not dying, at every hour and moment of my life I wish all to be in God. I wish to be unable to wish or do or think or speak anything that is not completely God's will; and the part of me which oppose this I would wish to be turned into dust and scattered in the wind.

--St. Catherine of Genoa

QUOTATION: Heavenly Reward

If man could see what reward he will have in the world above for well-doing, he would never employ his memory, understanding, or will in anything but good works, without regarding at all what labor or trials he might experience in them.

--St. Catherine of Genoa
