“Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward
will be great in Heaven.”
Matthew 5:12
“ Blessed are they who have not seen
and have believed.”
John 20:29
“… A tree is known by its fruit.
So those who profess to belong to Christ
will be known, by what they do.
For the work we are about,
is not a matter of words, here and now
but depends on the power of faith
and on being found faithful, to the end!”
St Ignatius of Antioch (c35–c107)
Bishop, Martyr, Apostolic Father
“Stand erect and raise your heads
because your redemption is at hand.”
Luke 21:28
“Truth is exhorting His elect by saying:
“When the disasters of the world
become more frequent… let your hearts exult!
While the world, which is not your friend,
is coming to an end,
the redemption you have sought ,is coming near!”
Those who love God are ordered to rejoice
and be merry at the world’s end.
They will soon find Him Whom they love,
while what they have not loved is passing away.
It should be far from the hearts of all the faithful
who long to see God, to grieve over the disasters
of a world, for they know, these very disasters,
are soon to end. It is written that:
“Whoever wishes to be a friend of this world,
makes himself an enemy of God” (Jas 4:4).”
St Gregory the Great (540-604)
Pope, Confessor, Father and Doctor
“Father of the Fathers”
“May Christ be heard in our language,
may Christ be seen in our life,
may He be perceived in our hearts”
St Peter Damian (1007-1072)
Doctor of the Church
