“Thou art the Christ,
the Son of the living God.”
Matthew 16:16
“… Now you must be, for a little time,
made sorrowful in divers temptations.
That the trial of your faith,
(much more precious than gold
which is tried by the fire)
may be found unto praise and glory
and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ.”
1 Peter 1:6-7
“And all who wish to live
piously in Christ Jesus,
will suffer persecution.”
2 Timothy 3:12
“What is the surest kind of witness?
“Anyone who acknowledges that Jesus Christ
came among us in the flesh” (cf 1 Jn 4:2)
and who keeps the commands of the Gospel…
How many there are, each day,
of these hidden martyrs of Christ
who confess the Lord Jesus!
… So be faithful and courageous
in interior persecutions,
so that you may also win
the victory in exterior persecutions.”
St Ambrose (340-397)
Father & Doctor of the Church
“It is an old custom
with the servants of God,
always to have some little prayers ready
and to be darting them up to Heaven
frequently during the day,
lifting their minds to God
out of the filth of this world.
He who adopts this plan,
will get great fruit, with little pains.”
St Philip Neri (1515-1595)
“He who most loves,
will be most loved.”
