These quotes are my favorite. What are yours?

Learn to let others do their share of the work. Things may be done less well, but you will have more peace of soul and health of body. And what temporal interest should we not sacrifice in order to gain these blessings?
- St. Rose Philippine Duchesne

I have to be saint in my own way; you have to be saint in your own way.”
- BL. Tersea of Calcutta, Born August 26, 1910

We should not want to see or do anything that could not be done in the presence of God…and we shall thus imagine that we are always in God’s presence.
– St. Ignatius Loyola

Let us not put off till the end of our life the care that we ought daily to take of our soul.
– St. John Mary Vianney, The Curé d’Ars

O, Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore You. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me. Tell me what I should do. Give me your orders. I promise to submit myself to all that You desire of me and to accept all that you permit to happen to me. Let me only know Your will.

Therefore, while you are living, do as you, at death, will wish you had done.

There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.
– St. Augustine of Hippo

Keep your eye on God’s pleasure and the eternal plan for you. Surrender all the remaining days of your life to God, and let the Lord use these for such activities as will be pleasing to God and not to yourself.
– St. Jane Frances de Chantal

In your search for a closer union with God, you must allow yourself no slipping back.
– St. Albert the Great

Patience is the companion of wisdom.
– St. Augustine of Hippo

We should follow Christ for three reasons:
First, because nothing is easier to do than this before death;
Secondly, nothing is more secure at death;
And thirdly, nothing more beneficial after death.
Meditations of St. Aquinas, O.P., Following the Lord

If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world on fire!
- St Catherine of Siena

In the gospel, Jesus recognizes himself as holy ground – called to bring good news to the poor, the captives, and the oppressed. Can we recognize ourselves as holy ground? In her writings, Teresa of Ávila reminds us that Christ has no body now on earth but ours. No hands, no feet on earth but ours. We, the people whom Jesus calls by name, are called to free the oppressed and give sight to the bling. Are we up for the challenge?
– Karen Johnson

Before it was a teaching, it was an action.

The only thing that is going to last forever, are the people I encounter.

Since happiness is nothing other than the enjoyment of the highest good and since the highest good is above, no one can be made happy unless one rises above oneself, not by an ascent of the body, but of the heart. But we cannot rise above ourselves unless a higher power lifts us up.
– St. Bonaventure

They who trust themselves are lost. They who trust in God can do all things.
– St. Alphonsus Liguori

Principle and Foundation

“Man is created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.

And the other things on the face of the earth are created for man and that they may help him in attaining the end of which he is created.

From this it follows that man is to use them as much as they help him on to his end, and ought to rid himself of them so far as they hinder him as to it.

For this it is necessary to make ourselves indifferent to all created things in all that is allowed to the choice of our free will and is not prohibited to it; so that, on our part, we want not health rather than sickness, riches rather than poverty, honor rather than dishonor, long rather than short life, and so in all the rest; desiring and choosing only what is most conducive for us to the end for which we are created.”
(Sp Ex 23)

Active waiting for the Lord means not allowing ourselves to be lulled into purely private interests in our homes, but donating our attention, time and talents. It implies sharing our strengths and accepting our weaknesses in our parishes, school, community work, and in society at large.
– Joseph Cardinal Bernardin

O God, help me to remember that time is short, eternity is long. To love you, my God, and save me soul is the one thing necessary. Without you, there is no peace, no joy. O God, help me to remember that I loving you I have all good things. Amen.
– St. Alphonsus Liguori

“The times are bad! The times are troublesome!” This is what humans say. But we are our times. Let us live well and our times will be good.
