QUOTATION: The Love of God

The love of God is not taught. No one has taught us to enjoy the light or to be attached to life more than anything else. And no one has taught us to love the two people who brought us into the world and educated us. Which is all the more reason to believe that we did not learn to love God as a result of outside instruction. In the very nature of every human being has been sown the seed of the ability to love. You and I ought to welcome this seed, cultivate it carefully, nourish it attentively and foster its growth by going to the school of God’s commandments with the help of His grace.

--St Basil the Great

QUOTATION: Evangelization

A Catholic who does not strive to spread his Faith is a parasite on the life of the Church.

--Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

QUOTATION: Stations of the Cross

What pleases our great Master the most is the Stations of the Cross performed with all its significance.The more you suffer pain during the Stations of the Cross,the more you resemble the Divine Crucified. Stations of the Cross performed for our own conversion or that of another has infinite merit. If, through the Stations of the Cross, you succeed in saving a soul, be assured that yours is saved as well.

--St. Andre Bessette, as quoted in Frère André disait souvent... Recueil de paroles de Frère André rapportées par ses amis.

QUOTATION: We Think as We Love

We think as we love. If you love Our Lord, you will think of Him spontaneously and without effort. You will find Him everywhere and in every thing. You will see only Him, and this knowledge is better than all books, it takes the place of them all. But for this one must have Him very really in his heart. The habitual thought follows the affection, and quite naturally attaches itself to it.

--St. Peter Julian Eymard

QUOTATION: Lying

Nothing is more unworthy of a Christian, whose life should be an imitation of God who is the soul of Honor and Truth itself, than to think one thing and say another.

--St Jean Vianney, the Curé of Ars
