St. Francis


"To those who have experienced it knowledge is given, not to those who have not experienced it. Thus, filled with a glowing fervor of spirit and his whole appearance and his whole soul melted, St. Francis dwelt already in the highest realms of the heavenly kingdom." 

- Saint Francis of Assisi (Celano, Second Life)
F.L.A. (Franciscan Lay Apostolate) shared this quote . . .

Jesus and St. Pio - beautiful!


"The field of battle between God and Satan is the human soul. This is where it takes place every moment of our lives. The soul must give free access to our Lord and be completely fortified by Him with every kind of weapon. His light must illuminate it to fight the darkness of error. He must put on Jesus Christ, His truth and justice, the shield of faith, the word of God to overcome such powerful enemies. To put on Jesus Christ we must die to ourselves."
- St. Padre Pio

Mother of the Eternal Word


"No sooner had Mary consented to be the Mother of the Eternal Word, than she merited by this consent to be made Queen of the world and of all creatures!"
St. Bernadine of Siena, Order Friars Minor - Franciscan
