“Well then did the Lord say: ‘If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.’ (Matthew 16:24) For they who are dead and buried in Christ ought not again to make their conclusions as though living in the world. ‘Touch not,’ it is said, ‘nor attend to those things which tend to corruption by their very use, for the very customs of this life corrupt integrity.’”   St. Ambrose, Concerning Repentance (Book II), par. 97
"Fight all error, but do it with good humor, patience, kindness, and love. Harshness will damage your own soul and spoil the best cause."   -St. John of Kanty
“The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families…that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”   Sister Lucia dos Santos, Fatima Seer
“Obedience will enable you to advance untiringly, and to gain more readily the road to Heaven; inasmuch as you will be journeying, in a manner, under the guidance of another, and not by your own will and judgment.”   St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491.-1556.)
Humility does not disturb or disquiet however great it may be; it comes with peace, dilight and calm.   St Teresa of Jesus of Avila   The Way of Perfection - chapter 39: 2
