Profound Quotes from the Saints

 

Ignorance of scripture

 is ignorance of Christ

St. Jerome

Not 100 in the 

United States 

hate the 

Roman Catholic Church, 

but millions hate 

what they mistakenly 

think the 

Roman Catholic 

Church is. 

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

 

  

Those who commit 

these types of scandals

 are guilty of the 

spiritual equivalent 

of murder,

 but I'm here among you 

to prevent something 

far worst for you. 

While those 

who give scandal

 are guilty of the spiritual 

equivalent of murder, 

those who take scandal- 

who allow scandals to destroy faith- 

are guilty of spiritual suicide. 

St. Francis de Sales

 

 

The proof of love

 is in the works. 

Where love exists, 

it works great things. 

But when it ceases to act, 

it ceases to exist. 

Pope St. Gregory the Great

Few souls 

understand 

what God would accomplish in them 

if they were to 

abandon themselves

unreservedly to Him 

and if they were 

to allow His grace

to mold them accordingly. 

St. Ignatius Loyola

 

It is better to say one 

Our Father

 fervently and devoutly 

than a thousand 

with no devotion 

and full of distraction. 

St. Edmund

If there be a true way 

that leads to the Everlasting Kingdom, 

it is most certainly that 

of suffering, patiently endured. 

St. Colette

At the end of our life, 

we shall all be judged 

by charity. 

St. John of the Cross
