The greatest deception and the greatest source of unhappiness
is the illusion of finding life by excluding God,
of finding freedom by excluding moral truths
and personal responsibility.

 
Pope John Paul II, 20th century

Be renewed in your minds through Christ.
Make your nature one modeled on your Savior,
that the newness of your minds may shine forth in Christ.

 
St. Peter Chrysologus, 5th century

Cling to Jesus in life and in death;
tust yourself to the glory of him who
alone can help you when all others fail.

 
'The Imitation of Christ', 15th century

The business of this life
should not preoccupy us with its anxiety and pride,
so that we no longer strive with all the love of our heart
to be like our Redeemer and to follow his example.

 
St. Leo the Great, 5th century

Christ's heart burns with love,
always open so as to shower graces and blessings,
always touched by our sorrows, always eager
to impart its treasures to us and to give himself to us,
always ready to receive us, to be our refuge,
our dwelling place, and our heaven in this world.

 
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century

Jesus is the all-powerful God whose way of life heals me;
whose support is my strength.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

Christ is the answer to every question
about the human person and his destiny.

 
Pope John Paul II, 20th 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
