“Pray that God will console you when you feel the burden of the Cross, for in doing so you are in no way acting against the will of God, but you are placing yourself beside the Son of God who asked His Father during the Agony in the Garden to send Him some relief. But if He is not willing to give it be ready to pronounce the same 'Fiat,' 'So be it,' that Jesus did.”  St. Pio of Pietrelcina

Pope Pius XII, Haurietis aquas (Latin: “You will draw waters”), encyclical on devotion to the Sacred Heart, May 15, 1956, Par. 85: “Nothing therefore prevents our adoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ as having a part in and being the natural and expressive symbol of the abiding love with which the divine Redeemer is still on fire for mankind. Though it is no longer subject to the varying emotions of this mortal life, yet it lives and beats and is united inseparably with the Person of the divine Word and, in Him and through Him, with the divine Will. Since then the Heart of Christ is overflowing with love both human and divine and rich with the treasure of all graces which our Redeemer acquired by His life, sufferings and death, it is therefore the enduring source of that charity which His Spirit pours forth on all the members of His Mystical Body.”

“In this adorable Heart, we find all the weapons necessary for our defence, all the remedies suited to the cure of our diseases, all the most powerful aids against the assaults of our enemies, all the sweetest consolations to alleviate our sufferings, all the purest delights to fill our souls with joy. Cor Christi cœleste gazophilacium et erarium est.”.  St. Peter Damian  (St. Peter Damian, Excell. of St. John Evang., serm. 1).  

“It is an obligation for us to inconvenience ourselves for the service of the poor.”  – St. Vincent de Paul

Deepen you knowledge of Jesus which ends loneliness, overcomes sadness and uncertainty, gives real meaning to life, curbs passions, exalts ideals, expands energies in charity, brings light into decisive choices. Let Christ be for you the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  Pope St. John Paul II

Everyone loves Him there, and the soul itself doesn't think about anything else than loving Him; nor can it cease loving Him, because it knows Him.  St Teresa of Jesus of Avila   The Way of Perfection - chapter 30 : 5

Mary is the vessel and tabernacle containing all mysteries. All that was hidden from preceding generations was made known to her. Even more, most of the wonders of the Divine plan of salvation depended on her. —St. Gregory the Wonderworker
