Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, set our hearts on fire with love of Thee.
~ Indulgence 500 Days (Raccolta 225)
"Adore and visit Jesus, abandoned and forsaken by men in his Sacrament of Love. Man has time for everything except for visits to his Lord and God, Who is waiting and longing for us in the Blessed Sacrament."
~ St. Peter Julian Eymard
Frequent not the company of immodest persons, especially if they be also impudent, as is generally the case; ...these corrupted souls and infected hearts scarcely speak to any, either of the same or a different sex, without causing them to fall in some degree from purity; they have poison in their eyes and in their breath, like basilisks. On the contrary, keep company with the chaste and virtuous; often meditate upon and read holy things; for the word of God is chaste, and makes those also chaste that delight in it.
~ St. Francis de Sales
"Let my conscience be ever upright and pure, my exterior modest, my conversation edifying, and my comportment regular." ~ Pope Clement XI
"The most degraded of men are frequently won over to better lives through admiration for the conduct of others." ~ Fr. J. de la Vaissiere, S.J., 1937
When a woman is feminine, she has the strength God gives to her. When she is de-feminized, she has only the strength she gives herself. - Cardinal Siri
We know that certain modes of dress which women are beginning to accept are harmful to society, for they are a cause of evil...those who spread this poison seem to ignore its evil effects...
- Pope Benedict XV, 1919
Let us then be ever ready, ever willing, to defy the world and its immodesty with our courageous and determined efforts to be modest in all things. ~ Fr. Paul Krug CSPV
These sins (against holy purity) have become so common and are so blatantly paraded that even we might be tempted to forget sometimes how much they offend Our Lord. ~ Fr. Matthew Wilder CSPV
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary! O Sweetest Mary! Let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on thee; for, in all my temptations, in all my needs, I shall never cease to call on thee, ever repeating they sacred name, Mary, Mary. O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my soul when I utter thy sacred name, or even only think of thee! I thank the Lord for having given thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering thy name. Let my love for thee prompt me ever to hail thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.
