"Mount Calvary is the mount of lovers. All love that does not take its origin from the Savior’s passion is foolish and perilous. Unhappy is love without the Savior’s death. Love and death are so mingled in the Savior’s passion that we cannot have one in our hearts without the other. Upon Calvary, we cannot have life without love, or love without the Redeemer’s death."

- St. Francis de Sales

"Mount Calvary is the academy of love."

- St. Francis de Sales

"There was never an angry man that thought his anger unjust."

- St. Francis de Sales

"The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not What a lovely sermon, but, I will do something!"
