Favorite Catholic Quotations Posted on October 08, 2008, 11:12 AM | Eric Pavlat |
I've been looking for a Bartlett's Famous Quotations-style book of Catholic quotations. I haven't found one yet, and I wish I had time to write one.
Some of my favorites include:
- Bd. Teresa of Calcutta: "God does not ask us to be successful; he asks us to be faithful."
- St. Catherine of Siena: "If you are what you should be, you will set the world on fire."
- St. Augustine: "If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself."
- Also St. Augustine: "Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
- And yet again St. Augustine: "Our souls are restless, O Lord, until they rest in You."
- St. Thomas Aquinas: "Contemplate and give to others the fruit of your contemplation."
