Quote/s of the Day – 1 November – All Saints Day
“Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.”
Matthew 5:8
“Let listening to worldly news
be BITTER FOOD for you
and let the words of
Saintly men
be as combs
filled with honey.”
St Basil the Great (329-379)
Father and Doctor of the Church
“To Saints,
their very slumber,
is a prayer!”
St John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Doctor of the Church
“Our greatest fault is, that
we wish to serve God in our way,
not in His way — according to our will,
not according to His will….
To be truly a Saint, it is necessary
to be one according to the will of God.”
“The Holy Eucharist
is the perfect Communion of Saints,
for it is the food common to Angels
and sainted souls in Paradise
and ourselves – it is the true Bread
of which all Christians participate.
The forgiveness of sins,
the Author of forgiveness being there, is confirmed;
the seed of our resurrection sown,
life everlasting bestowed. …
This very belief in the Most Holy Sacrament,
which, in truth, reality and substance,
contains the true and natural
Body of Our Lord,
is actually the abridgment of our Faith,
according to that of the Psalmist:
“He had made a memory of His wonderful works.”
St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctor Caritatis
