Sayings of St. Joseph Freinademetz

Saint Joseph Freinademetz (April 15, 1852 - January 28, 1908) was a member of the Society of the Divine Word. He was born in Oies, a section of the town of Badia in the southern Dolomites, which was then part of Austria and now part of Italy. He was sent to China and was very active in the education of Chinese laymen and priests. He also wrote a catechetical manual in Chinese, which he considered a crucial part of their missionary effort. He was canonized on October 5, 2003 by Pope John Paul II.

1. Let us pray that no matter what happens to us in this world, our eternity may be a happy one.

2. May the will of God, supreme and almighty, be done.

3. Prayers are the best help you can give a missionary.

4. To suffer with joy is the most beautiful thing in the world and the saints in heaven envy us because of it.

5. The language of love is the only language everyone understands.

6. Do not refuse anything to others, and claim nothing for yourself.

14. May fraternal unity strike deep roots in this place so that no storm wind may be strong enough to uproot this tree.

15. Let us all reach out helping hands, assisting one another sincerely.

16. I do not consider the missionary life as a sacrifice that I offer to God, but as the greatest grace that God could have ever given to me.

17. With the grace of the Holy Spirit no effort is ever too late!

Sayings of St. Arnold Janssen

1. Everything is possible by the power of the Holy Spirit's grace.

2. Never will we understand the value of time better than when the last hour is at hand.

3. True love and real trust form the basis of all good teamwork.

4. May you trust in God all the more, the more adverse a matter is.

10. God loves those who thank Him even in suffering.

11. Since love completes all, makes all hard things soft, and the difficult easy, let us strive to make all our acts proceed from love.

12. If after mature consideration, you do what you recognized to be God's holy will -- what does it matter if others find fault with it?

13. May your heart be like an altar, from which the sacrifice of thanksgiving incessantly rises up to God.

14. Ask God for the grace to remain calm even when you are treated unfairly, and never to allow a harsh or contemptuous word to pass your lips.

15. The most important thing in meditation is not reflection but communion with God, above all in love.

16. A servant of the Lord must be prepared to have much vinegar poured into the wine of his or her life.

17. Let us continue, then, with unabated zeal to labor everywhere in the world for the many intentions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for the sublime tasks entrusted to us...Let us center all of our efforts.

18. Pray particularly to the Holy Spirit to grant you prudence, courage, patience and great confidence. Armed with these virtues, you can confidently face the future, undisturbed by the many difficulties that may arise now or later, and for which you must be prepared.
