QUOTATION: Discouragement

Discouragement itself is a form of pride.

--St. Therese of Lisieux

QUOTATION: God in Scripture

Why is God never represented as shouting in Revealed Scripture? It is because He is so near He has no need to shout.

--Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

QUOTATION: Conversion

Did a Magdalene, a Paul, a Constantine, an Augustine become mountains of ice after their conversion? Quite the contrary. We should never have had these prodigies of conversion and marvelous holiness if they had not changed the flames of human passion into volcanoes of immense love of God.

--St. Frances Cabrini

QUOTATION: Being Church

Be the Church - that is, be an evangelical movement that tells the world of God's passionate love for humanity. That, not institutional maintenance, is what the Church is for. When the Church is that, and does that, it flourishes...

--George Weigel

QUOTATION: Being Loved by God

God loves us; we need only to summon up the humility to allow ourselves to be loved.

--Pope Benedict XVI
