Come to Me, all you who work hard and who carry

come, you who are just and you who are sinners,
and you shall find in Me a remedy
for all your losses and afflictions.
This is the desire of Jesus Christ:
to console every person who calls upon Him.”

Someone once remarked, after a sermon of Alphonsus,
“It is a pleasure to listen to your sermons;
you forget yourself and preach Jesus Christ.”
Ste Alphonsus Ligouri, ora pro nobis!
