GENTLENESS
I have never succeeded when I have spoken with the faintest suspicion of hardness. One must be ever on one's guard not to embitter the heart, if one wishes to move the mind.
- St. Vincent de Paul
Our Lord loves you and loves you tenderly; and if He does not let you feel the sweetness of His love, it is to make you more humble and abject in your own eyes.
- St. Pio of Pietrelcino
What a weakness it is to love Jesus Christ only when He caresses us, and to be cold immediately once He afflicts us. This is not true love. Those who love thus, love themselves too much to love God with all their heart.
- St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
GLUTTONY
It is almost certain that excess in eating is the cause of almost all the diseases of the body, but its effects on the soul are even more disastrous.
- St. Alphonsus Liguori
Never rise from the table without having given due thanks to the Lord. If we act in this way, we need have no fear of the wretched sin of gluttony.
- Padre Pio of Pietrelcina
GOD
He who desires nothing but God is rich and happy.
- St. Alphonsus Liguori
God being infinite beauty, the soul united to Christ draws upon himself the admiring and tender gaze of the Angels, who, were they capable of any passion, would be filled with envy at his lot.
- Pope St. Pius X
He loves, He hopes, He waits. Our Lord prefers to wait Himself for the sinner for years rather than keep us waiting an instant.
- St. Maria Goretti
God knows I am here. This is his
will for me.
- Saint Jose Isabel Flores Varela
