THE GLORIOUS DUTY OF MAN

My little children, reflect on these words: the Christian’s treasure is not on earth but in heaven. Our thoughts, then, ought to be directed to where our treasure is. This is the glorious duty of man: to pray and to love. If you pray and love, that is where a man’s happiness lies.
-St. John Mary Vianney

 

SEEING GOD

One must see God in everyone.
-St. Catherine Laboure

 

HOLD FAST TO GOD

Consider seriously how quickly people change, and how little trust is to be had in them; and hold fast to God, Who does not change.
-St. Teresa of Avila

 

OUR DUTY TO GOD

I am well aware, almighty God and Father, that in my life I owe you a most particular duty. It is to make my every thought and word speak of you.
Saint Hilary, bishop

 

MOTHERS

Mothers of children, even if they have a thousand, carry each and every one fixed in their hearts, and because of the strength of their love they do not forget any of them. In fact, it seems that the more children they have the more their love and care for each one is increased.
-Saint Angela Merici
