QUOTATION: Silence

A soul that has never tasted the sweetness of inner silence is a restless spirit which disturbs the silence of others. I have seen many souls in the depths of hell for not having kept their silence.

--St. Faustina Kowalska

QUOTATION: The Blessed Virgin Mary

The Immaculate must be the Queen over all nations, and this as soon as possible, and not only over all taken together, but over each person individually. Whoever goes contrary to this and refuses to believe in her love, will perish. But he who shall acknowledge her as Queen and strive, as her soldier, for the conquest of the world for her - he will live, he will thrive, and will always wonderfully prosper.

--St Maximilian Kolbe

QUOTATION: Humility

Whoever is humble, on being humiliated, humbles himself the more; on being rejected, rejoices in the disgrace; on being placed in low and mean occupations, acknowledges himself to be more honored than he deserves, and performs them willingly; and only abhors and avoids exalted and honorable offices.

-- St. Jane Frances de Chantal

QUOTATION: Temptation

The tempter, ever on the watch, wages war most violently against those whom he sees most careful to avoid sin.

--Pope St. Leo the Great
