When we have Jesus in our hearts
we shall have everything else with him,
and in him.

 
St. Joachina de Vedruna, 19th century

The ways of the Lord are many
though Jesus is himself the way.

 
St. Hiliary of Poitiers, 4th century

If we return to Christ with humility and sorrow,
with confidence in his goodness and the resolve to abandon sin,
he will receive us with an embrace.

 
St. John Eudes, 17th century

Christ belongs to you,
but more than that, he longs to be in you,
living and ruling in you,
as the head lives and rules in the body.

 
St John Eudes, 17th century

Fix your eyes on the crucified
and everything will become easy for you.

 
St. Teresa of Avila, 16th century

We become what we love,
and who we love shapes what we become.
If we love things, we become a thing.
If we love nothing, we become nothing.
Imitation of Christ means becoming the image of the beloved.

 
St. Clare of Assisi, 13th century

Jesus Christ is our true greatness.

 
St. Jean de Brebeuf, 17th century

Gaze at Christ hanging on the cross
full of faith, hope and charity, full of wonder and joy,
marked by gratitude, and open to praise and jubilation.

 
cf. St. Bonaventure, 13th century
