 Powerful Saint Quotes to Ignite Your Lenten Journey to Holiness

~St. Rose of Lima~


3) “Behold, Jesus Christ crucified, who is the only foundation of our hope; He is our mediator and advocate; the victim and sacrifice for our sins. He is goodness and patience itself; His mercy is moved by the tears of sinners, and he never refuses pardon and grace to those who ask it with a truly contrite and humbled heart.” 

~St. Charles Borromeo~


4) “If you suffer with Him, you will reign with Him. If you cry with Him, you will have joy with Him.

~St. Clare of Assisi~

~St. Padre Pio~


7) “As Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus’ thirst…He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.” 

~St. Teresa of Calcutta~

 ~St. Augustine of Hippo~


9) “My whole strength lies in prayer and sacrifice; these are my invincible arms; they can move hearts far better than words.” 

~St. Therese of Lisieux~


10) “Let us set out with trust on our Lenten journey, sustained by fervent prayer, penance and concern for those in need. In particular, may this Lent be a time of ever greater concern for the needs of children, in our own families and in society as a whole: for they are the future of humanity.”
