Giuseppe Moscati Quotes

“After this conscious and deliberate choice, Professor Moscati definitively opted for hospital work: to his hospital rounds he devoted his time, experience, human abilities and supernatural gifts. The patients and their physical and spiritual sufferings, were always uppermost in his thoughts, because "they are the faces of Jesus Christ, immortal, godliike souls, and the Gospel precept urges us to love them as ourselves." (p. 32-33)”
― Antonio Tripodoro, Saint Giuseppe Moscati: Doctor of the Poor

“Considering these noble expressions from the heart of Moscati, we understand that for him chastity was not a sterile flight into a solitude devoid of interests and worries, but rather a conscious choice of life for the sake of total dedication to the service of his neighbor. The joy that he recommended to his friend Zacchino, he himself experienced in practicing his profession, to which he had dedicated himself totally, precisely because his heart was free from other affections. Moscati's chastity was fruitful in good works. (p.96)”
