Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint Theresa of Avila Et Alia The exhaltation of Holy Church is our exhaltation, for in no other place do souls receive life than in that Church ... Look within, and you will find that strength which her enemies do not have, for, like corrupt members, they are cut off from her body ... For the Holy Ghost says in the Scriptures: "If God does not keep the city, the watchmen keep watch in vain" (Psalm 126:1), and therefore it cannot be long before those men perish; for they are without the grace they need, since God has taken it away from them, because they rose up against His Bride, in whom God dwells ... No one can attain to joy in the beauty of God in the depths of the Trinity without the help of that sweet Bride, for we must all pass through the gate of Christ Crucified, and that gate is found nowhere but in the Church. St. Catherine of Siena We have received the life of grace from the Church, which is so great a benefit that we can never, by any kind of homage or gratitude, pay the debt we owe ... For the Church is none other than Christ Himself, and it is she who gives us the Sacraments, and the Sacraments give us life. St. Catherine of Siena Alas! The lack of faith is the cause of so many sins, and of the damnation of so many Christians! St. Teresa of Avila All sins come from lack of faith. St. Teresa of Avila Hell is where Lutherans go. St. Teresa of Avila The Church is the only one, the Roman Catholic! And if
there were left upon earth but one Catholic, he would be the one,
universal Church, the Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ
against which the gates of Hell shall never prevail. Ven. Catherine Emmerich They will burn in Hell who refuse to believe Jesus Christ and His Church. St. Jane Frances de Chantal It is necessary for you to believe the Catholic faith and to be Baptized, as must every man in order to save his soul. St. Catherine of Alexandria These do not want to become Catholics and unite themselves under the banner of truth wherein alone there is true salvation. St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Having before my eyes the holy Gospels which I touch with my hand, and knowing that no one can be saved without that faith which the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church holds, believes, and teaches, against which I grieve that I have greatly erred inasmuch as I have held and believed doctrines opposed to her teaching; I now, with grief and contrition for my past errors, profess that I believe the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church to be the only and true Church established on earth by Jesus Christ, to which I submit myself with my whole heart; I believe all the articles under the banner of truth wherein alone there is true salvation. St. Frances Xavier Cabrini These do not want to become Catholics and unite themselves under the banner of truth wherein alone there is true salvation. St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Faith is a supernatural gift of God, a gift far greater than that of creation, for unbelievers are also created by God; yet without faith they cannot be saved. Ven. Mary Crescentia Hoss I will go peaceably and firmly to the Catholic Church. For if faith is so important to our salvation, I will seek it where true faith first began, among those who received it from God Himself. It is a curious contradiction of principles which ,'" allows every sect that can obtain a name to be right and in the way of salvation. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton HOME
