Faith means battles; if there are no contests, it is because there are none who desire to contend. – St Ambrose of Milan

Wherever people are suffering, wherever they are humiliated by poverty or injustice, and where a mockery is made of their rights, make it your task to serve them. – St John Paul the Great

A Christian’s treasure is not on earth. It is in heaven. Well, then! Our thoughts must go where our treasure is. Man has a fine function: to pray and to love. You pray, you love: that is man’s happiness on earth! – St John Vianney

Let devotion accompany all your studies, and study less to make yourself learned than to become a saint. Consul God more than your books, and ask Him, with humility, to make you understand what you read. – St Vincent Ferrer

Where there is order, there is also harmony; where there is harmony, there is also correct timing; where there is correct timing, ther is also advantage. – St Irenaeus

The dress of the body should not discredit the good of the soul.
