“It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures,”
~ St. André Bessette.
If I may ask, Lord, let me be but a dishrag in your Church, a rag used to wipe up messes and then thrown away into some dark corner. I want to be used up and worn out in the same way so that your house may be a little cleaner and brighter. And afterwards, let me be thrown away like a dirty, worn-out dishrag.
~Bl. George Matulewicz
"Do you want Our Lord to give you many graces? Visit Him often. Do you want Him to give you few graces? Visit him seldom. Visits to the Blessed Sacrament are powerful and indispensable means of overcoming the attacks of the devil. Make frequent visits to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and the devil will be powerless against you.”
~ St. John Bosco
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
~ St. Thomas Aquinas
When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.
~Saint Francis de Sales
Man cannot live without joy; therefore when he is deprived of true spiritual joys it is necessary that he become addicted to carnal pleasures.
~ St.Thomas Aquinas
