"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."
+St. John of the Cross
"More than this we need not add; let the last word be, He is all in all!"
Sirach 43:28

Memorial of Saint Vincent de Paul

Our perfection consists in uniting our will so intimately with God's will, that we will only desire what He wills. He who conforms most perfectly to the will of God will be the most perfect Christian.
+St. Vincent de Paul


Be careful to give no credit to yourself for anything; if you do, you are stealing from God, to whom alone every good thing is due.
+St. Vincent de Paul


We must love our neighbor as being made in the image of God and as an object of His love.
+St. Vincent de Paul


Humility and charity are the two master-chords: one, the lowest; the other, the highest; all the others are dependent on them.
+St. Vincent de Paul
