“In trial or difficulty, I have recourse to Mother Mary, whose glance alone is enough to dissipate every fear.”   -Saint Therese of Lisieux

Nothing Helps a Man more than Prayer.  -St. Philip Neri

“The works of God are not sumptuous or showy.”   – St. Vincent de Paul

 Today, I heard these words: The graces I grant you are not for you alone, but for a great number of other souls as well... And your heart is My constant dwelling place, despite the misery that you are. I unite Myself with you, take away your misery and give you My mercy. I perform works of mercy in every soul. The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy. My mercy is confirmed in every work of My hands. He who trusts in My mercy will not perish, for all his affairs are Mine, and his enemies will be shattered at the base of My footstool.   WORDS OF JESUS TO ST. FAUSTINA.  (Diary, 723)

It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels. -Saint Augustine

“How are we going to live in these troubled times? There’s really only one answer. We have to become saints…so here we have the dilemma, that we have to become saints to be happy, and yet how to be one? Well, the Church has given us a saint for our times, and that is, the picture of this young nun, St. Therese, who gave us a way, first of all, that is very simple…she really had two rules. One was never to seek the satisfaction of the self, and secondly, to do everything, to bear everything, out of love for our Lord…the method of the little flower was to integrate sanctity with what we are doing….a saint is one who makes Christ loveable…it does not require much time to make a saint, it requires only, much love.”      -Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Treasured Love Story)

The Blessed Virgin never shall fail to protect me when I call upon her. When I am troubled, I quickly turn to her. And like the most tender of mothers she looks after me. —St. Theresa of Lisieux
