The thoughts of the Saints

The thoughts of the Saints.

St. Robert Southwell

‘The path to Heaven is narrow, rough and full of wearisome and trying ascents, nor can it be trodden without great toil; and therefore wrong is their way, gross their error, and assured their ruin who, after the testimony of so many thousands of saints, will not learn where to settle their footing.’

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

‘Can you expect to go to Heaven for nothing? Did not our dear Saviour track the whole way to it with His Blood and tears?’

St. Vincent Ferrer

Christ said, “I am the Truth”; he did not say “I am the custom.”

St. Teresa of Avila

“Your life consists in drawing nearer to God. To do this you must endeavour to detach yourself from visible things and remember that in a short time they will be taken from you.”
