for the miserable smoke of the world.
- Catechism on Sin (Sp.)
HAVE some pictures or statues of the Saints in your home, and prize
them with your crucifix, more than any of your possessions. Often
it only needs a glance at a picture to bring to our minds the characteristics
of the Saints during their life on earth . . . . We learn from them lessons
of faith, courage, penitence, and the love of God.
- Sermon for All Saints Day (F.)
LIKE the Saints, let us be very zealous in fulfilling all our duties; let the
devil never find us doing nothing, lest we should yield to temptation.
- Sermon on Sloth (Sp.)
AH! How sweet and full of comfort are the moments spent before the
Blessed Sacrament! Are you in any trouble? Come and throw yourself
at His feet . . . . Do people speak badly of you? Come to Him and you
will find a good friend who will never fail you.
- Style of the Cure d'Ars (P.)
"O MY GOD, why have Thee sent me into the world?"
"To save your soul." "And why do Thee wish me to save my soul?"
"Because I love you."
