For we would be considered exceedingly hard-hearted who, if he could, would not assist his own brother were he in a city prison; and therefore a great deal more hard-hearted are we if we do not help our friends in purgatory; especially since no earthly punishment can be compared to theirs in any way.  St. Thomas Aquinas, O.P.

The two greatest dramas of life are the soul in pursuit of God and God in pursuit of the soul…[T]he soul that pursues God can do it leisurely…But when God pursues the soul, He proves a Relentless Lover, Who will never leave the soul alone until He has won it or been conclusively denied.  Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S.

O, let us not waste our time! Let us save souls!  Souls are falling into hell innumerable as the flakes of snow on a winter day. Jesus weeps! Instead of consoling Him we are brooding over our own sorrows…There is only one thing to do during the brief day, or rather, night of this life:Love Jesus with all the strength of your heart and save souls for Him, so that He may be loved!    St. Therese of Lisieux
