These prints bear some of the most famous quotes by saints, along with their handwriting and a subtle symbol associated with them. The handwriting of saints remind us that they were real people that lived through similar joys and trials of life. Their lives and ordinariness were made extraordinary by giving all they were and all they did to God. We are all called to be saints and their words continue to encourage and inspire us on our pilgrimage to holiness. Let these be reminders that we have friends in heaven who are cheering us on as we “run the race that is set before us”

St. Zelie Martin was a wife, mother and lacemaker. Her letters reveal a very relatable woman who endured struggles of motherhood (and she was raising a well known saint, married to a future saint and her other daughters on paths to sainthood!)  She too wondered if she was doing enough for God, but she trusted in Him and continued to love and devote herself to her family and her faith. In a letter she said, "The good Lord does not do things by halves; He always gives what we need. Let us then carry on bravely.”
 
St. Therese of Lisieux is famously known as the Little Flower. She saw herself as the "little flower of Jesus," who gave glory to God by just being herself among all the other flowers in God's garden. Because of this, the title "little flower" remained with St. Therese. She also reminds us that we belong with God in heaven and that is our forever home.
 
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati was an avid outdoorsman and wrote Verso l'alto on a photo of him climbing a mountain, which was his last climb before dying a month later. It means "toward the top '' which represents how he constantly strived for the summit of eternal life.
 
St John Paul II's apostolic motto was "Totus tuus" meaning "totally yours" to express belonging entirely to Mary for her to lead him to her son, Jesus. Throughout his papacy he also frequently said, "Be not afraid!" to remind us to trust in Christ through all things. In his inaugural homily as the newly elected Pope in St. Peter’s Square, he spoke to the world: "Brothers and sisters, do not be afraid to welcome Christ and accept his power."
 
St. Pio of Pietrelcina is quoted as saying, “Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.” He prayed continuously and exhibited profound love and humility and an unwavering faith amidst sickness, suffering and physical and spiritual assaults. Committing himself entirely into God's hands, he shows us the way to peace beyond all understanding in the midst of our most difficult trials.
