"Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul."

~Saint Augustine

"The loveliest masterpiece of the Heart of God is the heart of a Mother."

~Saint Thérèse de Lisieux

"May each one of us
glorify the Lord with the soul of Mary and
rejoice in God
with the Spirit of Mary!"

~Saint Ambrose

"The glory of God is the human person fully alive."

~Saint Irenaeus

"Without love, deeds - even the most brilliant - count as nothing."

~Saint Thérèse de Lisieux

"In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love, we are like God."

~Saint Mother Terese of Calcutta

"Let us love, since that is all our hearts were made for!"

~Saint Thérèse de Lisieux

"Perhaps someone will say:
'Had she not known before the He would die?' Undoubtedly.
'Did she not expect Him to rise again at once?' Surely.
'And still she grieved over her crucified Son?' Intensely.
Who are you and
what is the source
of your wisdom that
you are more surprised
at the compassion of Mary
than at the passion of Mary's Son?

For if He could die in body,
could she not die with Him in Spirit?
He died in body through a Love greater than anyone had known.
She died in Spirit through a Love unlike any other since His!"
~Saint Bernard, Abbot
