For God so loved the world, as to give His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting. – Saint John the Apostle

Pope Saint Damasus I Quote

Lithography of Pope Saint Damasus I (Lisboa, 1840) - PD-1923


He who walking on the sea could calm the bitter waves, who gives life to the dying seeds of the earth; he who was able to loose the mortal chains of death, and after three days’ darkness could bring again to the upper world the brother for his sister Martha: he, I believe, will make Damasus rise again from the dust.

Pope Saint Damasus I from an epitaph he wrote for himself.
