St John Francis Regis (1597-1640), Priest, Confessor; Foncouverte, France; Feast day June 16th

"What can I desire in heaven, or love on earth, besides thee, my God?"

"We are created by God, and for Him alone; and must direct all things to His glory."

"O my God! that I could suffer still more for Thy holy name!"

"I won that life would be intolerable if I had nothing to suffer for Jesus Christ: it is my only comfort in this world."

"I desire nothing more ardently than to die for Jesus Christ."

"What a happiness! how contented I die!  I see Jesus and Mary, who come to conduct me to the mansions of bliss."

"Jesus my Savior, to Thee I recommend, and into Thy hands I commit my soul."
