Prayer to St. Monica
Exemplary Mother of the great Augustine,
you perseveringly pursued your wayward son
not with wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven.
Intercede for all mothers in our day so that they may learn to draw their children to God.
Teach them how to remain close to their children, even the prodigal sons and daughters who have sadly gone astray.
From here.
"Suffering, pain, sorrow, humiliation, feelings of loneliness, are nothing but the kiss of Jesus, a sign that you have come so close that He can kiss you."
— Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
In giving us His Son, His only Word, He spoke everything to us at once in this sole Word - and He has no more to say… because what he spoke before to the prophets in parts, he has now spoken all at once by giving us the All Who is His Son.
- Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591) Priest, Doctor of the Church
If the Incarnation was a fantasy, then our salvation is a fantasy. - Saint Cyril of Jerusalem

"Attend to the service of God; act according to justice; the Lord will provide for the wants of your children; and you shall save your soul, and shall lay up that eternal treasure of happiness which can never be taken from you."
— Saint Alphonsus Liguori
No Hopeless Cases
“Where there is real faith and confidence in God there is no such thing as a hopeless case.”
- Venerable Solanus Casey (1870- 1957) Capuchin priest
"It is better to be the child of God than king of the whole world."
— St. Aloysius Gonzaga (via inmytsinelas)
