Advent - Quotes from Popes & Saints

By Webmaster • December 1, 2025
Some quotes from Popes and Saints about Advent St. Ambrose of Milan: “Open wide your door to the one who comes. Open your soul, throw open the depths of your heart to see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the sweetness of grace. Open your heart and run to meet the Sun of eternal light that illuminates all men” St. John Chrysostom: “Let us prepare for the coming of our Lord with repentance, humility, and acts of charity, for through these the soul adorns itself for the King.” St. Alphonsus Liguori: “During Advent, we learn how to die to ourselves so that Christ may be reborn in our hearts.” Pope Leo XIII: “The progression of the Advent season is like the increasing light from the dawn until the rising sun; we must let this light ignite the flame of charity in our souls.” Pope Pius XI: “Advent is that time of year when the Church prepares herself spiritually for the coming of the Redeemer, the long-awaited Messiah, who brings light into the darkness of the world.” Pope Paul VI: “Let Advent be a spiritual journey toward the Christmas mystery, where there will be found a humble manger, a child who is God himself. Let us prepare ourselves to receive him fully in our hearts.” St. Teresa of Calcutta: “Are we ready to receive Him? Before the birth of Jesus, His parents asked for a simple dwelling place, but there was none. If Mary and Joseph were looking for a home for Jesus, would they choose … your heart, and all it holds? Let us pray that we shall be able to welcome Jesus at Christmas...” St. Pope John Paul II: “Mary sustains our journey toward Christmas, for she teaches us how to live this Advent Season in expectation of the Lord.” Pope Benedict XVI: “Advent is the spiritual season of hope par excellence, and in this season the whole Church is called to be hope, for itself and for the world”.

YOUR INVITATION - EMBRACING THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA

The Fatima Message is the Heaven-sent guidance to enable us to change our lives and the world around us

WAF (World Apostolate of Fatima) England and Wales is actively involved in promoting the profound message of Fatima through a series of Visitations to cathedrals and churches, showcasing the National Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima, along with the revered Relics of Saints Jacinta and Francisco.


In order to embrace the Message of Fatima we need to live the devotion to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart given to us at Fatima. We also need to fulfil her requests - to pray the Rosary daily for peace, and to practice the Five First Saturdays devotion of reparation. The fruits of these practices will help us to live a happier and more fulfilling Catholic life, and work for peace in the world.

    How does our Mother, Mary, see us?

    WITH A MOTHER'S GAZE

    Our Lady is surely concerned by the alarming state of the world, a consequence of the systematic elimination of fundamental values that has lead to ongoing conflicts - and she is saddened by our lack of hope and purpose.


    Mary came to Fatima to restore our hope, establish peace and guide us to the wonders for which God created us.


    At Fatima on 13 June 1917, Our Lady said to the children:


    “Jesus wants to use you to make Me known and loved. He wishes to establish the devotion to My Immaculate Heart throughout the world. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and those souls will be loved by God like flowers placed by me to adorn His throne. … My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.”'

     

    'While the message of Our Lady of Fatima is a motherly one, it is also strong and decisive. It sounds severe...It invites to repentance. It gives a warning. It calls to prayer. It recommends the Rosary.''  (Pope St. Pope John Paul II)


    MARY CAN CHANGE HISTORY

    THROUGH FATIMA, HISTORY HAS BEEN CHANGED

    The story and the message of Fatima demonstrates that our future can be changed for the better through Our Lady. 

    The Fatima message is the Heaven-sent guidance which is meant to change our lives and the world around us.

    OUR LADY'S  PLAN TO RESTORE HOPE AND ESTABLISH PEACE

    A MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD

    Fatima represents a profound invitation to experience true happiness and inner peace. This invitation from Mary is a  call for all of us to open our hearts and respond with faith and devotion to her requests.

    Embracing Fatima's call means accepting Mary’s invitation to transform one’s life through prayer, reflection, and commitment to spiritual growth.


    Our Lady showed the seers the way to heaven, and we too can attain happiness, peace and salvation by responding to the Message of Fatima.


    “To know the message is to know the Gospel, to live the message is to live the Gospel. To accept the message is to accept Revelation as interpreted by the authentic Magisterium of the Church.


    There is almost no article of the Faith of the Church which is not reaffirmed, explicitly or implicitly, in the message of Fatima, understanding this in its widest and deepest sense.”

    The Fatima Message embodies a profound call to holiness, urging the faithful to embrace a new way of life marked by prayer, penance, and a deeper commitment to God.

    This message is not only a means of  individual transformation but also serves as a vital instrument in aiding the New Evangelisation, encouraging believers to spread the gospel in a modern context.

    Furthermore, it wholeheartedly promotes devotion to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, inviting the faithful to seek her intercession and guidance as they follow the path of Mary and the Seers.
