Few Quotes from Saints
FAITH AND SACRED SCRIPTURE
It is good to read the testimonies of Scripture; it is good to seek the Lord our God in them. As for me, however, I have already made so much of Scripture my own that I have more than enough to meditate on and turn over in my mind. I need no more . .. I know Christ, the poor crucified One.
-------St. Francis of Assisi
Saint Paul tells us, "The letter kills, but the spirit gives life" [2 Cor 3:6]. A man has been killed by the letter of the Sacred Scripture when he wants to quote it only so that people will think him to be very learned, . . . when he has no desire to follow the spirit of Sacred Scripture, but wants to know what it says only so he can explain it to others.
-------St. Francis of Assisi
GOD
One must see God in everyone.
-------St. Catherine Laboure
GRATITUDE
In all created things discern the providence and wisdom of God, and in all things give Him thanks.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
HEAVEN AND DIVINE REWARD
His Majesty [the Lord] . . . rewards great services with trials, and there can be no better reward, for out of trials springs love for God.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
That is how His Majesty [the Lord] rewards our good works-----I mean, by predisposing us to perform better ones.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
May I not come before You with empty hands, since we are rewarded according to our deeds.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
MORTAL SIN
We should all realize that no matter where or how a man dies, if he is in the state of mortal sin and does not repent, when he could have done so and did not, the Devil tears his soul from his body with such anguish and distress that only a person who has experienced it can appreciate it.
-------St. Francis of Assisi
PRAYER
How often I failed in my duty to God, because I was not leaning on the strong pillar of prayer.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
Don't imagine that, if you had a great deal of time, you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea; it is no hindrance to prayer to spend your time well.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
Jacob did not cease to be a Saint because he had to attend to his flocks.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
The most potent and acceptable prayer is the prayer that leaves the best effects. I don't mean it must immediately fill the soul with desire . . . The best effects [are] those that are followed up by actions-----when the soul not only desires the honor of God, but really strives for it.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend upon material success . . . but on Jesus alone.
-------St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
Anyone who has the habit of speaking before God's majesty as if he were speaking to a slave, careless about how he is speaking, and saying whatever comes into his head and whatever he's learned from saying prayers at other times, in my opinion is not praying. Please, God, may no Christian pray in this way.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
I would never want any prayer that would not make the virtues grow within me.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
Let him never cease from prayer who has once begun it, be his life ever so wicked; for prayer is the way to amend it, and without prayer such amendment will be much more difficult.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
Vocal prayer . . . must be accompanied by reflection. A prayer in which a person is not aware of Whom he is speaking to, what he is asking, who it is who is asking and of Whom, I don't call prayer-----however much the lips may move.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him.
-------St. Teresa of Avila
