QUOTATION: Communion

If you are sinful, repent so that you can communicate often. If you are imperfect, go often to Communion that you may amend your faults.

--St. Claude de la Colombiere

QUOTATION: The Slavery of People-Pleasing

A strange and unhappy slavery is that of a man who seeks to please other men. I vow never to do anything nor to leave anything undone because of what people think. This will set up in me a great interior peace.

--St. Claude de la Colombiere

QUOTATION: Trials

God is touched by our sorrows and does not allow them to last forever. He takes pleasure in trying our love for a time because he sees that trials purify us and render us worthy to receive his greater graces.

--St. Claude de la Colombiere
