St Isidore (560-636), Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of the Church; Cartagena, Spain; Feast day April 4th

"There is nothing from which man cannot fly, save from himself.  Let him go where he will, he cannot escape the pursuit of an accusing conscience.  There is no torment which exceeds that of a guilty conscience.  If then, you desire to live in peace, live in the practice of virtue."

Ven. Louis of Granada (1505-1588), Confessor; Granada, Spain

"Though your sins are as numerous as the sands on the shore, though your life has been wasted in crime, never forget that God is your Father, that He awaits you with open arms and open heart, that He is continually calling upon you to return and be reconciled to Him.  Have the desire to change your life; be resolved to walk in the path of virtue, and turn to God in humble prayer, with unshaken confidence that you will be heard.  'Ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.'"
