“The essence of holiness makes us live in the atmosphere of a never ending miracle. The saint requires the world in which he lives to present to a transparent face so that God's presence may pass through. This is Sharbel's miracle which perpetuates itself every day. It is untrue to say that the hermit runs away from mankind. It is more exact to say that he alone penetrates the world rather than gliding superficially over it and because of this, he has been permitted to view the foundation of all the world, the spirit. He has become God's contenance.” CatholicismCatholic TraditionCatholic Saints Book:Saint Charbel Source: Saint Charbel
“Mihi mori lucrum--For me to die is a gain. To die, murdered by the haters of Jesus Christ, would be my gain. All my fervent desires have always been to die in a hospital as a poor man, or on the scaffold as a martyr, murdered by enemies because of the most holy religion that we profess and preach. I should like to seal with my blood the virtues and truths which I have preached and taught.” MartyrdomCatholic SaintsAnthony Mary Claret Book:The Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret Source: The Autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret
