St. Paul of the Cross

"O souls! seek a refuge, like pure doves, in the shadow of the crucifix. There mourn the Passion of your divine Spouse, and drawing from your hearts flames of love and rivers of tears, make of them a precious balm with which to anoint the wounds of your Saviour."

- St. Paul of the Cross

"The Passion of Christ is the greatest and most stupendous work of Divine Love. The greatest and most overwhelming work of God’s love."

- St. Paul of the Cross

"'If you believe that you suffer much, it is an evidence that you have very little love for your Saviour.'"

- St. Paul of the Cross

"Oh cherished cross! Through thee my most bitter trials are replete with graces!"

- St. Paul of the Cross
