If we should regard tribulations with the eye of a Christian, and wholly clear from our minds those mists of worldly wisdom, which oppose the rays of Faith, and do not allow them to penetrate to the depths of our souls; how fortunate should we consider ourselves in being calumniated, and regarded not only as idle and incapable, but even as bad and vicious! Is it not, indeed, a great happiness to be persecuted in doing well, when Christ has called those blessed who suffer for justice?----St. Vincent de Paul

These quotes come from here.  https://www.catholictradition.org/Saints/virtue4.htm

I am getting sad that people are downing voting the quotes I am posting.  I am guessing they just have a problem with me and not the quote.  I really do not understand when Catholics are cowards and petty.  May God have Mercy on us all.  Prayers for all.

"O intelligence coarse, dense, and, as it were, cow-like, which did not recognize God, even in His own works! Perhaps the jew will complain that I call his intelligence bovine. But let him read what is said by the prophet Isaias, and he will find that his intelligence is even less than bovine. For Isaias says: 'The ox knows his Owner, and the ass knows his Master’s crib; but Israel has not known Me, and My people have not understood' (i.3). You see, O jew, I am easier on you than your own prophet. I have compared you to brute beasts, but he places you even below them!" ~ St. Bernard

If you look at the rod of Moses lying on the ground, it is a frightful serpent; if you look at it in the hand of Moses, it is a wand of power. It is thus with tribulations. Consider them in themselves, and they are horrors; consider them in the will of God, and they are joys and delights.----St. Francis de Sales

It is known that the jєωιѕн people are polluted with wickedness, blasphemy, and the shedding of the Blood of Jesus Christ so that their wickedness has no limit. ~ St. Felix of Toledo (“On the Condemnation of the Jews,” Council XVII of Toledo, Spain, Canon No. 8; PAC, p.376).

"We are people who go against the current. Let nothing discourage us, but always move forward with the certainty that the Lord counts on every effort and rewards every sacrifice." St. Leopold Bogdan Mandić

"Have faith and your life will be good, peaceful and Christian. Have faith and you will find a comprehensive answer to all your questions and all your trials will become bearable, and pain will be transformed into light!" St. Leopold Bogdan Mandić

He was a Capucin friar, great confessor and true ecuмenist who tried to bring back to the Catholic Church eastern schismatics, especially the Slavic nations. He used to confess daily 8-10 hours or more for 40 years! 
Bl. Alojzije Stepinac started to spread veneration to him, and he was orthodox in faith and liturgy also.  

He was canonized by pope John Paul II, he died in 1942. so I know some of you will reject this. There was alleged medical miracle in Trent, Italy around 1980.-1981. associated with prayers to bl. Leopold Bogdan Mandić. But the same "pope" canonized St. Padre Pio, that surely wasn't a mistake.
