Sock rockin' quotes

[Laudate_Dominum]

These are quotes from my blog that were gleaned from a website because they rock. I figured I'd post 'em. *man, quotes are so cool*

"Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self."
- Mother Teresa

"Intense love does not measure . . . it just gives."
- Mother Teresa

"The person who does not decide to love forever will find it very difficult to really love for even one day."
- Pope John Paul II

"Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it. This is why Christ the Redeemer 'fully reveals man to himself.'"
- Pope John Paul II

"There is no place for selfishness—and no place for fear! Do not be afraid, then, when love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice"
- Pope John Paul II

"Real love is demanding. I would fail in my mission if I did not tell you so. Love demands a personal commitment to the will of God."
- Pope John Paul II


"Only the chaste man and the chaste woman are capable of true love."
- Pope John Paul II

"Chastity is a difficult, long term matter; one must wait patiently for it to bear fruit, for the happiness of loving kindness which it must bring. But at the same time, chastity is the sure way to happiness."
- Pope John Paul II

"Deep within yourself, listen to your conscience which calls you to be pure . . . a home is not warmed by the fire of pleasure which burns quickly like a pile of withered grass. Passing encounters are only a caricature of love; they injure hearts and mock God's plan."
- Pope John Paul II

"[God] has assigned as a duty to every man the dignity of every woman."
- Pope John Paul II

"To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something as beautiful for him."
- Blessed Mother Teresa

"Holy Purity is granted by God when it is asked for with humility."
- St. Josemaria Escriva

"By Lust I mean that affection of the mind that aims at the enjoyment of one's self and one's neighbor without reference to God."
- St. Augustine

"When you decide firmly to lead a clean life, chastity will not be a burden on you: it will be a crown of triumph."
- St. Josemaria Escriva

"Purity is the fruit of prayer."
- Blessed Mother Teresa

"Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity."
- St. John Henry Cardinal Newman

"Temptation is necessary to make us realize that we are nothing in ourselves."
- St. Josemaria Escriva

All St. Augustine:

* Thou hast made us for Thyself, o Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.

* I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!

* I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in either of them: "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden."

sick quotations

[Laudate_Dominum]

The Eucharist is a burning coal that sets us on fire. Fire is active by nature and tends to spread. When the soul is under the action of the Eucharist, it is forced to cry out; "O my God, what shall I do in return for so much love?" And Jesus answers; "Thou hast to resemble Me, to live for Me, and to live of Me." The transformation will be easy; when it is a matter of love; one does not walk; one runs and flies.

-- St. Peter Julian Emyard


I am not my own; I have given myself to Jesus. He must be my only love. The state of helpless poverty that may befall me if I do not marry does not frighten me. All I need is a little food and a few pieces of clothing. With the work of my hands I shall always earn what is necessary and what is left over I'll give to my relatives and to the poor. If I should become sick and unable to work, then I shall be like the Lord on the cross. He will have mercy on me and help me, I am sure.

-- Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha


A man who fails to love the Mass fails to love Christ. We must make an effort to "live" the Mass with calm and serenity, with devotion and affection. And this is why I have always suspected that those who want the Mass to be over with quickly show, with this insensitive attitude, that they have not yet realized what the sacrifice of the altar means.

-- St. Josemaría Escriva de Balaguer


It is God's way to give much for little. Our Lord does not attend to how much we give, but to the generosity of our will, and for this very reason He makes much of a little.

-- St. John Chrysostom


God bestows more consideration on the purity of the intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves.

-- St. Augustine

[u]Eucharist and the Sacrifice of the Mass[/u]
If it is daily bread, why do you take it once a year, as the Greeks in the east are accustomed to do? Take daily what is to profit you daily. So live that you may deserve to receive it daily. He who does not deserve to receive it daily does not deserve to receive it once a year.
--St. Ambrose, [i]On the Sacraments[/i]

When we come to the service of Christ, we come to a rough profession.

--Pope John Paul II, [i]Message for World Communications Day, 2002[/i]

[u]Vatican II and Ultratraditionalism[/u]
When one reads the luminous encyclical Ecclesiam Suam of Pope Paul VI or the magnificent Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of the Fathers of the Council, one cannot but realize the greatness of the Second Vatican Council . . . Indeed, it would be difficult to conceive a greater contrast than that existing between the official documents of Vatican II and the superficial, insipid pronouncements of various theologian and laymen that have been breaking out everywhere like some infectious disease.
--Dietrich von Hildebrand, [i]Trojan Horse in the City of God[/i]

[u]Testimony of the Early Church Fathers[/u]

[u]Sin and the Christian Lifestyle[/u]
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.

[u]Sexual Issues[/u]
Give me chastity and continence, but not yet!

The first law of history is not to dare to utter falsehood; the second, not to fear to speak the truth.
--Pope Leo XIII, [i]On the Opening of the Vatican Archives[/i]

[u]Theology of the Body[/u]
It is an illusion to think we can build a true culture of human life if we do not . . . accept and experience sexuality and love and the whole of life according to their true meaning and their close inter-connection.
--Pope John Paul II, [i]The Gospel of Life[/i]

[u]Practical Apologetics[/u]
The reasoned arguments for the faith are not sufficiently strong to coerce the unwilling into faith, but they are stronger than any argument that can be brought against Christianity, and are quite sufficiently strong to reinforce and to strengthen the will to believe.

[u]Anti-Catholicism[/u]
There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church—which is, of course, quite a different thing.
--Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, [i]Preface, Radio Replies[/i]

[u]Non-Christian Religions[/u]
Even before he was of our fold, he was ours. His character made him one of us. For, as many of our own are not with us, whose life alienates them from the common body, so, many of those without are on our side, whose character anticipates their faith, and need only the name of that which indeed they possess.
--St. Gregory of Nazianzus, [i]Oration 18, Article 6[/i]

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God....
--St. Paul to the Ephesians, [i]Eph 2:8[/i]

[u]Faith and Science[/u]
Believe first of all that God is one, that he created all things and set them in order and brought out of nonexistence into existence everything that is, and that he contains all things while he himself is uncontained.
--Hermas, [i]The Shepherd[/i]

[u]Communion of Saints[/u]
You say in your book that while we live we are able to pray for each other, but afterwards when we have died, the prayer of no person for another can be heard. . . . But if the apostles and martyrs while still in the body can pray for others, at a time when they ought still be solicitous about themselves, how much more will they do so after their crowns, victories, and triumphs?
--St. Jerome, [i]Against Vigilantius[/i]

[u]Mary[/u]
Do not marvel at the novelty of the thing, if a Virgin gives birth to God.
--St. Jerome, [i]Commentaries on Isaiah[/i]
