QUOTATION: The Slavery of People-Pleasing

A strange and unhappy slavery is that of a man who seeks to please other men. I vow never to do anything nor to leave anything undone because of what people think. This will set up in me a great interior peace.

--St. Claude de la Colombiere

QUOTATION: Authentic Faith

What needs to be done by Catholics today for their country? The answer is: Don’t lie. If we say we’re Catholic, we need to prove it. America’s public life needs people willing to stand alone, without apologies, for the truth of the Catholic faith and the common human values it defends. One person can make a difference – if that individual has a faith he or she is willing to suffer for.

-Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, Render Unto Caesar
