St Cuthbert (634-687), Bishop, Confessor; Dunbar, Scotland

"Miserable men that we are, whilst we are resigning ourselves to sleep and idleness, we take no thought to behold the light of God's holy angels, who never sleep."

"You see, my beloved brethren, how great is the grace of God to him who hopes and trusts in the Lord."

"Dearest brethren, as often as you hear the mysteries of the heavenly kingdom preached to you, you should listen with attentive heart and with watchful feelings, lest the devil, who has a thousand ways of harming you, prevent you by superfluous cares from hearing the word of salvation."

"What are you doing, my brethren, in thus reviling those whom you see hurried to destruction?  Would it not be better and more humane to entreat the Lord in their behalf, than thus to take delight in their misfortunes?"

St Photina, (d. 1st cent.), Martyr; Samaria

"Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water."

St Maria Josefa of the Heart of Jesus (1842-1912), Virgin, Foundress; Vitoria, Spain

"I was born with a religious vocation."

"In the Divine Heart of Jesus is the center of our communication with Him.  We can speak with Him as frequently as we desire without disturbing anyone, speaking intimately with Him."
