I love these mystics who combined their great learning with their beautiful sanctity.
For those of you who haven`t read any of the works of the 33 Doctors of the Church, you should check them out
Here’s a sample from some of these mystics..

Teresa of Avila:
“Never pay heed to such matters of popular opinion. This is no time for believing
everyone; believe only those whom you see modeling their lives on the life of Christ.”

Catherine of Siena:
“Why must you have such care for yourselves? Let God`s providence watch over you. His
eyes are on you continually in your fears. Not a moment passes but He is thinking of your welfare.”

Bonaventure:
“A saint`s life must be pure, that is, everything must be done out of love for God.”
