When our hands have touched spices, they give fragrance to all they handle. Let us make our prayers pass through the hands of the Blessed Virgin. She will make them fragrant.

~ St. John Vianney

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

~Proverbs 1:7

And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

~Mark 11:25

For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts. ~Malachi 1:11

He who says "I know him" but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him: he who says she abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

~1 John 2:4-6

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whoever 

believes in him may have eternal life

~Jon 3:14-15

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I intend, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

~Isaiah 55:10-11
