Christ's heart burns with love,
always open so as to shower graces and blessings,
always touched by our sorrows, always eager
to impart its treasures to us and to give himself to us,
always ready to receive us, to be our refuge,
our dwelling place, and our heaven in this world.

 
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century

Jesus is the all-powerful God whose way of life heals me;
whose support is my strength.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

Christ is the answer to every question
about the human person and his destiny.

 
Pope John Paul II, 20th century

Do not be afraid to give your heart to Christ.
God is supreme eternal goodness, worthy of being loved.

 
St. Catherine of Siena, 14th century

Happy the one
to whom it is given to attain life with Christ;
whose contemplation is our refreshment,
whose graciousness is our delight,
whose remembrance gives sweet delight.

 
St. Clare of Assisi, 13th century

This is only another way of saying,
'Keep your eyes on Christ'.

 
St. Gregory of Nyssa, 4th century

Nothing restrains anger, curbs pride, heals the wounds of malice,
bridles self indulgence, quenches the passions, checks avarice,
and puts unclean thoughts to flight
as does the name of Jesus.

 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century

Through our Savior, Jesus Christ,
let us strain our eyes toward the heights of heaven;
through him, our foolish and darkened understanding
shoots up into the light.

 
St. Clement of Rome, 1st century
