“If the world hates you,
know that it has hated Me first.”
John 15:18
“He who raised Him from the dead
will raise us also” (2Cor 4,14),
if we do His Will and live by His Commands
and love what He loved…
Let us be imitators of His endurance
and, if we suffer for His sake,
let us glorify Him.
For He set us this example Himself …”
St Polycarp (69-155)
Apostolic Father,
Bishop and Martyr
“Fix your minds on the Passion
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Inflamed with love for us,
He came down from Heaven
to redeem us.
For our sake, He endured
every torment of body and soul
and shrank from no bodily pain.
He, Himself, gave us an example
of perfect patience and love.
We, then, are to be patient, in adversity!”
“The recollection of an injury,
is . . . a rusty arrow
and poison for the soul.”
St Francis of Paola (1416-1507)
“You will be consoled
according to the greatness
of your sorrow and affliction;
the greater the suffering,
the greater will be the reward.”
St Maria Magdalena de’ Pazzi (1566-1607)
“I think He intends to try you
like gold in the crucible,
so as to number you
amongst His most faithful servants.
Therefore, you must lovingly embrace
all occasions of suffering,
considering them
as precious tokens of His love.
To suffer in silence
and without complaint,
is what He asks of you.”
St Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
“Apostle of the Sacred Heart”
“Our Lord, Who saved the world,
through the Cross,
will only Work for the good of souls,
through the Cross.”
