Life is being with Christ,
because where Christ is, there is his Kingdom.

for no other purpose than to suffer.

gaze upon Christ crucified.

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

The contemplation of Our Lord is sanctifying;
even only to think of him, to look at him with faith and love
sanctifies us.

 
Bl. Columba Marmion, 20th century

Jesus is happy to come with us,
as truth is happy to be spoken,
as life to be lived, as light to be lit,
as love is to be loved, as joy to be given,
as peace to be spread.

 
St. Francis of Assisi, 13th century

The indispensible source of energy and renewal
when frailty and weakness increase,
is the encounter with the living Christ.

 
Pope John Paul II, 20th century

The face of our loving Savior is so serene and gentle
that it charmed the eyes and hearts
of those who beheld it.

 
St. Louis de Montfort, 18th century

Honored by the name of Christ,
we are called Christians.
So then, we must ensure that in us are seen
all the meanings of the name of Christ,
so that our title is not false and meaningless
but is borne out by our lives.

 
St. Gregory of Nyssa, 4th century
