Feast of St. John de Brebeuf, St. Isaac Jogues and companions

Jesus Christ is our true greatness;  it is he alone and his crosses that should be sought in ministering....If we seek for anything else, we will find nothing but bodily and spiritual afflictions.  But if we have found Jesus Christ in his cross, we have found the roses among the thorns, sweetness in bitterness, all in nothing. - St. John de Brebeuf
