Christian quotations by Don Bosco. Bodily / Spiritual Health. Christian portal
If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.                If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.                If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.                Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with.

Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Bodily / Spiritual Health
   

John Bosco photo Christian quotations by Don Bosco"Health is God’s great gift, and we must spend it entirely for Him. Our eyes should see only for God, our feet walk only for Him, our hands labor for Him alone; in short, our entire body should serve God while we still have the time. Then, when He shall take our health and we shall near our last day, our conscience will not reproach us for having misused it."

"I would like to stress good health, good moral conduct and serious studies. Health is a precious gift; take good care of it."

"Work, but only do as much as your strength can take."

"[To his clerics]
There is a limit to what a man can do. Nobody should overwork himself lest he be prematurely worn out and become useless and be done for, just when he ought to be at the peak of his powers."

"In all the miracles of healing preformed by Our Divine Savior, we must admire the remarkable goodness which caused Him to heal first the sickness of the soul, then that of the body. He teaches us the great lesson that we must first purify our consciences before turning to God for help in our earthly needs."

"We need God’s help if we want health of mind and body... To obtain these favors, let us go to Mary. Let us remember that to deserve Her intercession, we must show that we are Her true sons who hate sin and keep it at a distance! She will generously grant us temporal and spiritual favors; She will be our Guide, our Teacher, [and] our Mother. All of God’s gifts come through Her.
[To enjoy good health]
I will give you a secret, or rather, a prescription. To enjoy good health and live a long life you need four things:
1. A clear conscience when you go to bed at night, that is, no fear of eternity;
2. Moderation in eating;
3. An active life;
4. Good companions, that is, fleeing from those who are corrupt."

"I did not become a priest to look after my health."
