"The Mother of God came down from Heaven not solely for Bernadette, the people of France, or only for those living back in the nineteenth century. Her message was meant for each of us, then, now, and long after into the future. Her message is quite simple: prayer, penance, and procession, with a gentle Heavenly reminder, that her Son is Our Lord and Savior; He performed miracles during His earthly life, and He still does so today."

-Marlene Watkins, Everyday Miracles of Lourdes

"When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, 'Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.' For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him, and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon.

Jesus said to Simon, 'Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.' When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him."

"Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus." -St. Teresa of Calcutta

"Pius XI describes St. Francis de Sales as 'a model of sanctity... Endowed with every virtue, he excelled in meekness of heart, a virtue so peculiar to himself that it might be considered his most characteristic trait.'

Far from being naturally meek, however, Francis was said to have had a short temper that he was able to conquer through prayer, mortification of his will, and constant watchfulness over himself. 'The meekness of St. Francis was therefore an effect of his tremendous will power, constantly strengthened by his lively faith and the fires of divine love which burned within him.'"

-Deacon Matthew Newsome, The Devout Life
