“Do good while you still have time / Do what you can and leave the rest to God / Have fun, but do not neglect study and prayer / If you want to be loved, you yourselves must love / Money can buy anything, but it cannot bribe death / One must learn how to obey before he can command / Humility is the foundation of the entire spiritual edifice / Sweeping problems under …More

“Do good while you still have time / Do what you can and leave the rest to God / Have fun, but do not neglect study and prayer / If you want to be loved, you yourselves must love / Money can buy anything, but it cannot bribe death / One must learn how to obey before he can command / Humility is the foundation of the entire spiritual edifice / Sweeping problems under the rug does not solve them / Act today in such a way that you need not blush tomorrow / Mary is the most loved and the most loving of all creatures / Mary is Immaculate and hates whatever is contrary to purity / Whatever you do, say, or think, let it be for your soul’s good / If we practice charity, every community will be a little heaven / A man’s entire life should be a continual preparation for death / The Lord turns everything to the advantage of those that love Him / If you have no friends to tell you your faults, pay an enemy to do it / You can fly to Heaven on the wings of confession and Communion / Enjoy yourselves as much as you like, if only you keep away from sin / Remember that you have an angel as a companion, guardian and friend / Only a villain would treat an innocent priest as though he were a criminal / Remember that at the hour of death we shall reap what we have sown in life / Guard your eyes since they are the windows through which sin enters the soul / Charity is what sets the sons of God apart from the sons of Satan and of the world / Through confession, endeavour to purify your heart of anything which may still taint it / Holy Communion is the surest means to keep pure because it is the best act of love of God / We are all children of God and of the Church, children of the Pope, who is our common father / Have a beautiful picture of Our Blessed Mother on your desk. Frequently look at it and kiss it / Were it not for the Blessed Sacrament and the Blessed Virgin, the world would now be in ruins / The fullness of love in all the mothers of this earth could never equal the love Mary has for each one of us / Let us not allow the devil to delude us into thinking we may put our conscience in order at the moment of death / Within the bosom of the Catholic Church everyone, no matter what his condition, can reach perfection in all virtues / There are two things the devil is deadly afraid of: fervent Communions and frequent visits to the Blessed Sacrament / Do you want to become saints? Here is the secret: confession is the lock; confidence in your confessor is the key. This is how you open heaven’s gates”, Don Bosco
