“We should delay for several hours, and reflect will in the presence of God, before we correct by reproof, especially when the fault is great and the person is little disposed to receive correction.”
– St. Vincent de Paul

"Someone who lived practicing the vice of sodomy will suffer more pains in Hell than any one else, because this is the worst sin that there is.” (St. Bernardine of Siena, Predica XXXIX, in Le prediche volgari (Milan: Rizzoli, 1936), pp. 869ff., 915, in F. Bernadei, op. cit., pp. 11f)

It's better to cry than be angry, because anger hurts others while tears flow silently through the soul and cleans the heart.  Pope St. John Paul II

Our Lord Jesus Christ has obtained for us a magnificent treasure of graces. But in the Divine Plan, not one particle comes to us without the mediation of Mary. —Pope Leo XIII

And strive, my daughters, so to behave that you will deserve to find your delight in Him; and cast yourselves into His arms.  St Teresa of Jesus of Avila. The Way of Perfection - chapter 27 : 6

Pope Benedict XIV, in his Constitution, "Etsi Pastoralis," for Italian-Greeks, May 26, 1742, states “I revere also and accept the universal Synods as follows, namely... The first Constantinople, second in order, and I profess that which was defined in it against Macedonius of execrable memory that the Holy Spirit is not a servant but Lord, not a creature but God, and possessing the one divinity with the Father and the Son.”

“Oh, if you knew the struggles which I went through before I embraced the sort of life which I now follow [as a Passionist father]; the great horror which the devil caused me; the compassion I felt for my relations — their hopes in this world all resting on me — my interior desolations, my melancholy, my fears. It seemed to me as if I could not last out; the devil tried to persuade me that I was deceived; that I might serve God in another way; that this was no life for me; with plenty more that I now omit. What is more than all this, I had no more devotion. I was dry and tempted in every way: the sound of the church bells became hateful to me — every one I saw seemed happy except myself. I cannot possibly explain the great conflicts I underwent; and these assailed rue with greater violence as the time approached when I was to receive the habit and leave my poor home. All this is the simple truth; but there is far more which I cannot explain.”  St. Paul of the Cross   (“The Life of Blessed Paul of the Cross”, tr. by Fr. Ignatius of S. Paul, pub. 1860, pg. 8.)
