Christ's heart is always ready to receive us,
to be a refuge, our dwelling place,
and our heaven in this world.

 
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century

We lost eternal life through sin.
Jesus has restored it for us.
For this reason we must always be grateful to him
and love him.

 
St. Cajetan, 16th century

Jesus came as a gentle, humble man.
He relieves us; he excludes no one,
nor does he send anyone away.

 
St. Ambrose, 4th century

Do not be afraid to give your heart to Christ.
God is supreme eternal goodness,
worthy of being loved.

 
St. Catherine of Siena, 14th century

Allowing ourselves to be brought under the gaze of God,
we understand the realization
that our lives are in God’s hands.

 
Pseudo-Marcarius, 4th century

The Lord himself, our God Jesus Christ,
is the fountain of life, and he invites us to himself
as to a fountain, that we may drink.

 
St. Columban, 6th century

If the lamb under Moses drove the Destroyer away,
how much more so did the Lamb of God
who takes away the sins of the world deliver us
from our sins.

 
St. Cyril of Jerusalem, 4th century

Christ is the bedrock of meekness
since not a murmur of complaint
was heard from the Lamb.

 
St. Catherine of Siena, 14th century
