“Don't be upset when you are unable to meditate, receive Communion or carry out all the pious practices. In the meantime, try to make up for this in a different manner, by keeping yourself united to our Lord with a loving will, with ejaculatory prayers and spiritual Communions.”   St. Pio of Pietrelcina

“When I was dying on the Cross, I was not thinking about Myself, but about poor sinners, and I prayed for them to My Father. I want your last moments to be completely similar to Mine on the Cross. There is but one price that souls are bought, and that is suffering united to My suffering on the Cross. Pure love understands these words; carnal love will never understand them.”    WORDS OF JESUS  TO ST. FAUSTIAN    (Diary324)

“It is a great fallacy for parents to believe that the education of their children depends on the school.  The school is not the primary educator, but the secondary; its authority to teach the children is delegated by the parents, the right inherent in the father and the mother.  Nor is the school ever a substitute for the parents.  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Thoughts for Daily Living)

The modern world, a world which has experienced marvelous achievements but which seems to have lost its sense of ultimate realities and of existence itself.    Pope St. John Paul II

The Lord must have seen that it was not proper for that monastery to be there, for His judgement are great and beyond all our understanding.   St Teresa of Jesus of Avila   The Book of Her Foundation - Chapter 17 : 17

"Let us not imagine that we obscure the glory of the Son by the great praise we lavish on the Mother; for the more she is honored, the greater is the glory of her Son. There can be no doubt that whatever we say in praise of the Mother gives equal praise to the Son."   - St. Bernard of Clairvaux

“How happy is that guardian angel who accompanies a soul to Holy Mass!” – St. John Vianney
