The cross of Jesus is your lot;
his love is your strength.

 
St. Peter Julian Eymard, 19th century

The Savior is the healer of bodies
and the doctor of souls.

Jesus is honey in the mouth, and music to the ear,
and gladness to the heart.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

Christ loves childhood,
the teacher of humility, the rule of innocence, the image of gentleness.
Let humility be loved; let every exaltation be avoided.

 
St. Leo the Great, 5th century

If you think of the name ‘Jesus’ continually and hold it firmly,
it purges your sin, and kindles your heart;
it clarifies your soul, removes anger, and does away with slowness.

 
Richard Rolle, 14th century

Without our ever asking,
God created us in his own image and likeness.
And he created us anew to grace in the blood of his Son.
So our soul is at peace in him and in no one
and nothing else.

 
St. Catherine of Siena, 14th century

The birth of Christ is the origin of the Christian people;
and the birthday of the head (Christ)
is also the birthday of his body (the Church).

 
St. Leo the Great, 5th century

When you became small, O God,
you made human beings great.

 
St. Catherine of Siena, 14th century
