ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON
Soul of Jesus, sanctify me
Blood of Jesus, wash me….
Heart of Jesus, receive me
Spirit of Jesus, enliven me
Goodness of Jesus, pardon me
Beauty of Jesus, draw me

When then you approach this adorable Body,….say to yourself from this I receive my being and life, this Body has released me from captivity, this Body will carry me one day to heaven, raise me to the life of angels and give me eternal life with all its blessings.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Be united, and God will bless you, but this union must be the love of Jesus Christ within you. Any other source of harmony, not being cemented by the blood of Jesus Christ, will not endure. It is in Jesus Christ, by Jesus Christ, and for Jesus Christ that you must be united with one another.

I pray our Lord that he will be the life of our life and the only desire of our hearts.

ST. LOUISE DE MARILLAC
After having been continuously sustained by the grace of God, it seemed to me that all that I am is but grace. I implored God to draw these graces in that I might be totally God’s beloved.

You must place your trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the father of the poor.
