And of what should we be afraid? Our captain on this battlefield is Christ Jesus. We have discovered what we have to do. Christ has bound our enemies for us and weakened them that they cannot overcome us unless we so choose to let them. So we must fight courageously and mark ourselves with the sign of the most Holy Cross.

Don't make it necessary for me to complain about you to Christ crucified. (There is no one else I can complain to, since there is no one greater than you on earth.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
There is no perfect virtue-none that bears fruit- unless it is exercised by means of our neighbor.
St. Catherine of Siena
Image
Even if [the Pope an incarnate devil], we ought not to raise up our heads against him, but calmly lie down to rest on his bosom... He who rebels against our Father is condemned to death, for that which we do to him we do to Christ: we honor Christ if we honor the Pope we dishonor Christ if we dishonor the Pope.
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

Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.
