Hello Everyone,
I hope this is helpful for all of you, so you can easily retract back to quotes I have posted; that I got out the books of the saints and many other locations for quotes. This is will be a regular "Saturday Blog". Enjoy.
"Let us ask our Lord to work in us and through us, and let us do our utmost to draw Him down into our hearts, for He Himself has said: "Without Me you can do nothing." ~ St. Madeleine Sophie Barat
"Water is different from hydrogen and oxygen in isolation. Husband and wife, in their love for one another, find that they are drawn to create something greater then themselves, which is the incarnation of their mutual love." LIFE IS WORTH LIVING ~Archbishop Fulton Sheen
"If you cannot find the time to say five decades all together, say a decade here and a decade there; you will thus be able, in spite of your work and the calls upon your time, to complete the whole Rosary before going to bed."
THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY ~St. Louis Marie de Montfort
"It is not so much the length of a prayer as the fervour with which it is said which pleases God and touches his heart. A single Hail Mary said properly is worth more than a hundred and fifty said badly."
THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY ~St. Louis Marie de Montfort
"So arm yourself with the arms of God, with the holy Rosary, and you will crush the devil's head and stand firm in the face of all his temptations. That is why even a pair of rosary beads is so terrible to the devil, and why the saints have used them to fetter him and drive him from the bodies of those who were possessed."
THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY ~St. Louis Marie de Montfort
"..so from the hands of Mary nothing flows but the graces and mercies which she dispenses to all who take shelter under her protection."
PREPARATION FOR DEATH ~St. Alphonsus de Liguori
"Christian wife! Follow in the footsteps of the ideal of all womanhood, the Blessed Mother of God; in joy and in sorrow, she will be your advocate at the throne of her Son." ~Saint John Marie Vianney
“When you say your Rosary, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is nothing in the Church that I love as much as the Rosary.”
~Our Lady to Blessed Alan de la Roche
"Good example is the most efficacious apostolate. You must be as lighted lanterns and shine like brilliant chandeliers among men. By your good example and your words, animate others to know and love God." ~ St. Mary Joseph Rossello
"We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on material success; nor on sciences that cloud the intellect. Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus alone."~St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
"The meditation on the mysteries and prayers of the Rosary is the easiest of all prayers, because the diversity of the virtues of our Lord and the different situations of his life which we study, refresh and fortify our mind in a wonderful way and help us to avoid distractions." ~St. Louis Marie de Montfort
"If you have already attained, by the grace of God, a high degree of prayer, keep up the practice of saying the Holy Rosary if you wish to remain in that state and by it to grow in humility."
~St. Louis Marie de Montfort
"But how can worldlings, living in the midst of sins, in the midst of earthly pleasures and dangerous occasions, expect a happy death ? God warns sinners that at death they shall seek and shall not find him. He tells us that the hour of death shall be the time, not of mercy, but of vengeance. I will repay them in due time."
~ST. ALPHONSUS MARIA DE LIGUORI
"Jesus, I trust in You."
