Make the sign of the cross when you eat or drink,
when you sit, lie down or get up,
when you speak, when you walk;
in a word, at every act, the devil sees, and flees, trembling.

Jesus is so sweet that, in him, in his sweetness,
everything bitter becomes sweet.

Christ showed himself poor
when he assumed our mortal nature and destroyed death;
yet he promised us riches, for he had not been robbed of his wealth
but was keeping it in reserve.

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

The heart of Christ
can be seen through the openings of his wounds.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

Christ would not have given his life
if he had wanted anything other than our good.

 
St. Catherine of Siena, 14th century

In Christ, you have everything you need.

 
St. Ambrose, 4th century

What really matters in life
is that we are loved by Christ,
and we love him in return.

 
Bl. Pope John Paul II, 20th century
