Let the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy. My daughter, write about My mercy towards tormented souls. Souls that make an appeal to My mercy delight Me. To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion, but on the contrary, I justify him in My unfathomable and inscrutable mercy. Write: before I come as a just judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice.   WORDS OF JESUS TO ST. FAUSTINA    (Diary 1146)

“Jesus permits the spiritual combat as a purification, not as a punishment. The trial is not unto death but unto salvation.”   St. Pio of Pietrecina

“Believe me, there is no more powerful means to obtain God’s grace than to employ the intercessions of the Holy Virgin.”    - St. Philip Neri

“The most honest of those who appear on radio or television, as regards to their material, are the comedians.  At the end of every program, regardless of who the comedian is, there will always be found listed the names of his writers.  The comedians admit, though they speak the humorous lines, that they actually are indebted to others for putting them in their mouths.  One never sees on a television screen at the end of a program given by a politician the names of the one who wrote his speech.  Here we pay tribute to the four writers who have given us the greatest inspiration: 1. A Collector of internal revenue 2. A reporter 3. A physician 4. An official in a fishing company.  These four writers are perhaps better known as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  Though none of them has written the material that is used in our books, they nevertheless have given us the philosophy and theology behind all that we write.”     Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Thinking Life Through)

All favors, graces, and heavenly inspirations come from Christ as from the Head. All then descend to the body through Mary, since—just as in the human body—it is by the neck that the Head gives life to the limbs.    - St. Robert Bellarmine

We must desire solitude and it is continually present in souls that truly love God.   St Teresa of Jesus of Avila   The Book of Her Foundation - Chapter 5 : 15

“ Renew your faith by attending Holy Mass. Keep your mind focused on the mystery that is unfolding before your eyes. In your mind’s eye transport yourself to Calvary and meditate on the Victim who offers Himself to Divine Justice, paying the price of your redemption.”   St. Pio of Pietrelcina
