ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON

Oh if indeed you could pass this Advent with us --…do try much to take all its grace—it is so sweet a season for comforting the poor and in every one our coming Lord.

How sweet to entreat her who bore Him in the bosom of peace to take our own case in hand — if she is not heard, who shall be?

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

I ask Our Lord to grant you the grace of entering fully into the love and practice of the virtues resplendent in his holy birth and to be more than ever the life of your life and the unifying bond of your little family, whom I embrace tenderly.

ST. LOUISE DE MARILLAC

Reflecting on Mary’s holy conception, I saw God’s design….It seems to me that it would be impossible for God to refuse her anything. God’s divine and loving glance never left her since she always lived according to God’s will.
