“How few are the humans who live entirely for the unique reason of our very existence, for the purpose for which God created us: to know, to love, to serve God on earth, in order to be happy with Him throughout eternity.” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

“To know, to love, to serve God is the only truth! The devil, and those who work with him, those who act according to the worldly spirit, seek the opposite: they want to appear well before men, no matter what God thinks, they do not even care about what God thinks.” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

“We must get closer to God. The Saints who lived in prayer, in contact with God were enlightened, they had the true knowledge of supernatural things. It is this science that we must strive for.” (Fr. John Gregory of the Trinity)

“If you want to seed your garden, you must first clear the ground. You have to dig up your soil, you have to pull out the weeds, you have to plant, you have to water. You will have beautiful fruits, beautiful vegetables, but they will have cost a lot of trouble. It's the same in the supernatural order. It's a spiritual warfare that must be fought, and it will only end in death.” (Fr. John Gregory of the Trinity)

“Let us ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to communicate to us the Thought of Jesus. May She communicate to us the spirit of God so that all of us, from the smallest to the eldest, may the passion of our lives be to know, love and serve God!...” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

“To worship God is first to recognize that the Creator has all rights over His creature.  Therefore, we must show absolute docility in God's hands.” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

All things are possible to him that believeth, says the Gospel. All things are possible. But one must believe!... It is through prayer, through the ardour of our supplications that we will obtain this grace of living and practical faith.” (Fr. John Gregory of the Trinity)

“Where has man sinned against God? You know it: it's through disobedience. So, what is the main immolation that God expects of His child? It is obedience that cleanses us from sin and unites us with God. It is the sacrifice He especially asks of us.” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

«The way to Heaven is narrow, steep, rocky, thorny; only a few take it. The path of perdition is wide, spacious, pleasant, many are those who take it. The path to damnation is the highway; while the path to Heaven is a path of misery in the mountains, lined with brambles and thorns, a small, tiring, steep path. It is the Gospel that says this, as opposed to modern theories.» (Fr. John Gregory)

“Why did we come here?  Mystery that we do not understand, but we are before the evidence that it is the Work of God.  We must be grateful and thank the good Lord for having taken us despite all our misery, our unworthiness.” (Fr. John Gregory of the Trinity)

“Prayer must transform our lives. At the same time as we beg God through prayer, we must do penance by removing from our lives everything that displeases God, everything that is contrary to His plans for us.” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

“Jesus undertook the great work of Redemption in the greatest silence because this is the way we too must do it. In the silence of our hearts give the total gift of our whole being to this Jesus who has done foolish things out of love for us.” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

“If the good Lord asks us to do little things and we do them with punctuality, kindness, love, fervor, application, God will be touched; this is the great secret of all the great servants of God.” (Fr. John Gregory of the Trinity)

“Love is proved by giving. The fuller the gift, the truer the love, and the Son of God wants a total gift from us. Let us love God since He loved us first. Let us return to Him love for love.” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

“Give me, my Jesus, the grace to always renew this gift of myself in humility, obedience and charity, seeking all that pleases You and avoiding all that displeases You. Grant me this grace, my Jesus, for without You I can do nothing.” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

“Serenity, equality of mood are virtues that are acquired, one must practice them. To be in a good mood when everything goes to our liking is not a marvel, any pagan can do the same. On the other hand, smiling when you're on the cross, that's the Christian achievement.” (Fr. John Gregory of the Trinity)

“Let us make a true prayer from the depths of our hearts: 'My Jesus, see my helplessness, see my incapacity, I am a coward, but I really want to give You the gift of a total gift of myself. You are the source of all grace, please give me the grace to do everything for You.' ” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

“Worldly people believe that those who embark on this path of sacrifice and immolation that is religious life are souls who renounce happiness. On the contrary! Unalterable happiness becomes the most assured partaking of the true religious, who gives himself to God without counting the cost.” (Fr. John Gregory of the Trinity)

“We must be an image of God. People will say, "If God's apostles are so kind, how must God Himself be?" We mustn't make God odious to men, but attractive, especially through our charity, our kindness. That's why we must forget ourselves. Sometimes it hurts inside, but we still smile.” (Fr. John Gregory of the Trinity)

“The more we do for God, the more we'll taste the joy of Heaven in our souls. Whoever will leave everything for Me, says Jesus, will receive a hundredfold in this world and eternal life in the other. This promised hundredfold includes the joy of Heaven that is flooded in those who leave everything for God and maintain their gift in everyday life.” (Fr. John Gregory)

“Peace on earth to men of good will, said the angel to the shepherds. What is good will? It is that which is conformed to God. Do we really want to experience the joys of God? Let us be souls of true good will, ready to do anything to please God.“ (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

“We talk about the virtue of humility, but above all we must live it! And to live it, you must love it. Our hearts must be infatuated with this virtue. There is only one way to do this: to contemplate Jesus, the Son of God made man, who manifests His preferential love for humility with His life and His Word.” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

“Jesus, the Son of God, chose to come to earth in oblivion, in silence; almost no one knew that He had been born. One could say that He was forgotten in Nazareth for thirty years. That is Jesus! This is what He has chosen, He the Man-God. We must consider Him and learn from Him.” (Fr. Mathurin of the Mother of God)

John Gregory of the Trinity)
