St. Thomas Aquinas

God therefore neither wills evil to be done, nor wills it not to be done, but wills to permit evil to be done, and this is good.

Pope Paul VI

Liturgy is like a strong tree whose beauty is derived from the continuous renewal of its leaves, but whose strength comes from the old trunk, with solid roots in the ground.

St. John of the Cross

Where there is no love, put love--and you will find love.

Pope Pius XI

Let those about to enter wedlock pray diligently for divine help, so that they may make their choice in  accordance with Christian prudence, not led by the blind and unrestrained impulse of lust, nor by any desire for riches, nor by any other base influence, but by a true and noble love and sincere affection for the future partner.

St. Athanasius

He became what we are that he might make us what he is.

St. Vincent de Paul

Tolerance is the bond of all friendship, and unites people in heart and opinion and action, not only with each other, but in unity with our Lord, so that they may really be at peace.

St. Thomas Villanova

If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor.  If you wish God to anticipate your wants, provide those of the indigent without waiting for them to ask you.  Especially anticipate the needs of those who are ashamed to beg.  To make them ask for alms is to make them buy it.
