This is the Will of God, your Sanctification

God wills us to become Saints.  These pages will be devoted to this end. 

Mental prayer is morally necessary for all, Saint Charles Borromeo

Saint John Chrysostom concludes: He that is pious towards men, is still more pious towards God.   We begin our sanctification by learning how to love our neighbor, as Jesus commands us.  By loving our neighbor we will have to fight against our own selfishness, which is at the root of many sins. 








Saint Alphonsus summarizes the spiritual life: By reading and meditating we learn our duty; but by prayer we obtain the grace to do it.  All three are essential to salvation.

Saint John Eudes: What truth can there be in the claim that we are Christians and adore a crucified God, a God agonizing and dying upon a Cross, a God who for love of us gives up so noble and excellent life, a God Who sacrifices Himself for us every day, before our eyes upon our altars for our salvation, if we are not ready to sacrifice to Him all that we hold dearest in the world, and even life itself, which in any case belongs to Him by all rights?  Surely we are not Christians if we are not in these dispositions. 

This is an ongoing project of the Catholic Church.  Pages will be added, so please bookmark this site.
The first section being worked on is Love of Neighbor, although other pages are being added as they are found.

He that is pious towards men, is still more pious towards God. Saint John Chrysostom

O my God! I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul because Thou art all-good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured (Act of Charity from the Basic Catechism.)
