HONORS [WORLDLY] The Saints were so completely dead to themselves that they cared very little whether others agreed with them or not. - St. John Vianney HUMAN NATURE God is like a mother who carries her child in her arms by the edge of a precipice. While she is seeking all the time to keep him from danger, he is doing his best to get into it. - St. John Vianney HUMILITY God always gives a greater blessing to humble beginnings than to those that start with a chiming of bells. - St. Vincent de Paul What was the life of Christ but a perpetual humiliation? - St. Vincent de Paul Humility is to the various virtues what the chain is in a Rosary. Take away the chain and the beads are scattered; remove humility, and all virtues vanish. - St. John Vianney ...he who believes himself to be a Saint is a fool. Genuine saints always look upon themselves as the worst sinners. And when Our Lord grants a favor through their prayers, they credit such favors to this or that Saints, whereas their own faith was largely responsible for them. - St. John Bosco Purity is the special reward of being
humble.
- St.
John Bosco
The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is humility. For, as he does not know at all how to employ it, neither does he know how to defend himself from it. - St. Vincent de Paul HOME----------SAINTS-----------QUOTE OF THE WEEK----------MEMORABLE QUOTES www.catholictradition.org/Saint/saintly-quotes19.htm |
