QUOTATION: Marriage

Pope Francis
You know that marriage is for a lifetime? "Yes, we love each other, but we'll stay together as long as love lasts. When it's over, we go our separate ways." That is selfishness.

--Pope Francis

QUOTATION: Pro-Life and Forgiveness

Fr. Frank Pavone
We who reject abortion do not reject those who have had abortions. Rather, we embrace them with forgiveness and peace.

--Fr. Frank Pavone

QUOTATION: God's Love

St. Francis de SalesYou ask me whether Our Lord thinks of you, and whether He looks upon you with love. Yes, He thinks of you, and not only of you, but of the least hair of your head. This is an article of faith. We cannot doubt it.

--St. Francis de Sales, Consoling Thoughts

QUOTATION: Empathy

St. Basil the Great
Whoever sheds a fervent tear for the hardships of his fellow man, heals his own wounds.

--St. Basil the Great

QUOTATION: Marriage

St. Francis de Sales
The state of marriage is one that requires more virtue and constancy than any other. It is a perpetual exercise in mortification.

--St. Francis de Sales
