“You are called to stand up for life! To respect and defend the mystery of life always and everywhere, including the lives of unborn babies, giving real help and encouragement to mothers in difficult situations. You are called to work and pray against abortion.” – St. John Paul II

“On the other hand, it is troubling that, when some ecological movements defend the integrity of the environment, rightly demanding that certain limits be imposed on scientific research, they sometimes fail to apply those same principles to human life. There is a tendency to justify transgressing all boundaries when experimentation is carried out on living human embryos. We forget that the inalienable worth of a human being transcends his or her degree of development. In the same way, when technology disregards the great ethical principles, it ends up considering any practice whatsoever as licit. As we have seen in this chapter, a technology severed from ethics will not easily be able to limit its own power.”

Pope Francis - Encyclical: Laudatio Si, May 24, 2015

“We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, killings, of wars, or of hatred… If a mother can kill her own child, what is left but for us to kill each other?” – St. Mother Teresa

“Mount Calvary is the academy of love.” St. Francis de Sales

"The most holy Passion of Jesus Christ is the most efficacious means to convert obstinate sinners." St Paul of the Cross

“One day,” writes Bonaventure, “while St. Francis (of Assisi) was praying, Jesus Christ appeared to him fastened to the cross; And the memory of Christ’s passion was so impressed on the innermost recesses of his heart that from that hour, whenever Christ’s crucifixion came to mind, he could scarcely contain his tears and sighs.” St. Bonaventure on the life of St. Francis of Assisi

“Why did you suffer for me, dear Jesus? For Love! The nails, the crown, the cross, all for the love of me! For You I sacrifice everything willingly. I offer you my body with all of its weakness, and my soul with all its love.” 

St. Gemma Galgani
