All Saints Day, a holy day for The Roman Catholic Church, falls on

Monday, November 1, 2010 (tomorrow) this year. It is a celebration

of all the Christians who have departed and are in Heaven. Below,

I have some favorite quotes of well-known and lesser-known

Christians throughout the ages. I hope they bless you as much as

they have me. Sending out joy... Val =)

Quotes for All Saints Day

"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life,

what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your

body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food,

and the body more than clothing?"

- Saint Matthew, Matthew: 6:25

If you do not, people will notice that you say one thing,

more than many done with feelings of devotion."

than with a barrelful of vinegar."

is not praying. He is offering up his sufferings to God,

and many a time he is praying much more truly than one

who goes away by himself and meditates his head off, and,

if he has squeezed out a few tears, thinks that is prayer."

- Saint Teresa of Avila

"Suffering is a great favor. Remember that everything

soon comes to an end... and take courage.

Think of how our gain is eternal."

We who work for God should be light-hearted."

a rusty arrow and poison for the soul."

don't start meeting troubles halfway."
