All believers must continually confess the name of Jesus
because of the grace that comes to us from his name:
the remission of sins, the enlightenment, the healing,
and above all, the salvation which it confers.

 
St. Simeon of Thesssalonica, 15th century

Jesus is the genuine newness
which surpasses human expectations,
and as such, he remains forever.

 
Pope John Paul II, 20th century

Jesus dwelt among men
within the surroundings of the Holy Family of Nazareth,
one of the many families in this small town,
one of many families in Israel.

 
Pope John Paul II, 20th century

The love of Jesus is faithful and enduring.
The one who embraces Jesus stands firm forever.

 
'The Imitation of Christ', 15th century

The greatest deception and the greatest source of unhappiness
is the illusion of finding life by excluding God,
of finding freedom by excluding moral truths
and personal responsibility.

 
Pope John Paul II, 20th century

Be renewed in your minds through Christ.
Make your nature one modeled on your Savior,
that the newness of your minds may shine forth in Christ.

 
St. Peter Chrysologus, 5th century

Cling to Jesus in life and in death;
tust yourself to the glory of him who
alone can help you when all others fail.

 
'The Imitation of Christ', 15th century

The business of this life
should not preoccupy us with its anxiety and pride,
so that we no longer strive with all the love of our heart
to be like our Redeemer and to follow his example.

 
St. Leo the Great, 5th century
