For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
How many are the pains of those who hunger for revenge! They gnaw away at themselves constantly, and they have killed themselves even before they kill their enemies.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
From self-knowledge flows the stream of humility, which never seizes on mere report, nor takes offense at anything, but bears every insult, every loss of consolation, and every sorry, from whatever direction they may come, patiently, with joy.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
To the servant of God... every place is the right place, and every time is the right time.
St. Catherine of Siena
