"...you should have before you the life of Mary, in which you may behold as it were in a mirror, chastity and a pattern of virtue. The nobility of a teacher would immediately set on fire the order of the disciples. And who can be more noble than the Mother of God? Who more splendid than She Whom Splendor chose? Who more chaste than She who gave birth to a body without any detriment to Her own body?..."

An Ancient Prayer to St. Joseph; whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires.
O St. Joseph, assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me all spiritual blessings through thy foster Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord, so that having engaged here below thy heavenly power, I may offer thee my thanksgiving and homage.
O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee, and Jesus asleep in thine arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for me.
This prayer was found in the fiftieth year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ . In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles V when he was going into battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about himself shall never die a sudden death or be drowned, nor shall poison take effect …More

"O most loved daughter, how glorious is the soul who has so truly learned to cross the stormy flood to come to Me, the peaceful sea! The vessel of her heart is filled with the sea that is My very self, the most high eternal Godhead! And so her eyes, like a channel trying to satisfy her heart's lead, shed tears.
This is that final state in which the soul is both happy and sorrowful.
She is happy because of the union with Me that she has felt in experiencing divine love. She is sorrowful because she sees My goodness and greatness offended. For she has seen and tasted that goodness and greatness in her knowledge of herself, and it was this self-knowledge that brought her to this final stage. But her sorrow does not blemish the unitive state. No, it brings on tears of great sweetness because of the self-knowledge she finds in charity for her neighbors. For in that charity she discovers the lover's lament of My divine mercy and sorrow for her neighbors' sins, and so she weeps with those who …More

"When the soul begins to practice virtue, she begins to lose this fear. For she knows that fear alone is not enough to win her eternal life (as I told you when I spoke of the soul's second stage). So she rises up in love to know herself and My goodness to her, and she begins to hope in My mercy. In this her heart feels glad, because her sorrow for sin is mixed with hope in My divine mercy. Now her eyes begin to weep, and her tears well up from the fountain of her heart. But these tears are often sensual because she is not yet very perfect. If you ask Me why, I answer: because of the root of selfish love. Not sensual love; she has already risen above that. No, it is a spiritual love in which the soul hungers for spiritual consolations (whose imperfection I have made clear to you) or for the consolations that come through some person she loves with a spiritual love."

"I want you to know that all tears come from the heart. Nor is there any other bodily member that can satisfy the heart as the eyes can. If the heart is sad the eyes show it. If the sadness is sensual, there will be hearty tears that give birth to death. Hearty because they do come from the heart, but deadly because the heart's love is disordered, cut off from Me. And because it is disordered it is offensive to Me and earns sadness and tears that are deadly. It is true, however, that the seriousness of both sin and weeping depends on how disordered that love is. These, then, are those first, the tears of death, of which I have told you and will tell you more later. Let us look now at the first of the life-giving tears, the tears of those who recognize their sinfulness and begin to weep for fear of punishment. Their tears are heartfelt but sensual; that is, although they have not yet come to perfect hatred for sin as an offense against Me, they do get up with heartfelt sorrow because of …More

God the Eternal Father about glorious St. Peter the Martyr (Peter of Verona).
"Consider My Peter, (Peter of Verona.) virgin and martyr. With his blood he shed light amid the darkness of many heresies, hating them so much that he was ready to give his life [in the struggle against them]. As long as he lived his sole concern was to pray, preach, debate with the heretics, and to fearlessly proclaim the truth and spread the faith. He bore witness to it not only during his lifetime but right up to the very last moment of his life. Thus at the point of death, having neither voice nor ink after he had been struck down he dipped his finger into his own blood. This glorious martyr had no paper, so he bore witness to the faith by bending down and writing on the ground, "Credo in Deum.” (I believe in God.) His heart was ablaze in the furnace of My charity. Therefore he did not slacken his pace or turn back even though he knew he would have to die. (I had revealed his death to him beforehand.) Like …More

God the Eternal Father about glorious St. Thomas Aquinas.
"Consider the glorious Thomas. With his mind's eye he contemplated My Truth ever so tenderly and there gained light beyond the natural and knowledge infused by grace. Thus he learned more through prayer than through human study. He was a blazing torch shedding light within his order and in the mystic body of holy Church, dispelling the darkness of heresies."

God the Eternal Father about glorious St. Dominic, St. Paul, and the Dominicans.
"So Dominic set his ship in order by rigging it with three strong ropes: obedience, continence, and true poverty. He made it thoroughly royal by not tying it to the guilt of deadly sin. Enlightened by Me, the true light, he was providing for those who were less perfect. For, though all who observe the rule are perfect, still even in [this way of] life one is more perfect than another, and both the perfect and the not-so-perfect fare well on this ship. Dominic allied himself with My Truth by showing that he did not want the sinner to die but rather to be converted and live. He made his ship very spacious, gladsome, and fragrant, a most delightful garden. But those wretches who have violated rather than kept the rule have made it a dense wilderness with little fragrance of virtue or light of learning in those who nurse at the order's breast. I do not say "in the order," because the order in itself, as I have …More
