--Pope Francis, My Door is Always Open: a Conversation on Faith, Hope and the Church in a Time of Change

QUOTATION: The Church Endures

Our Lord seems to sleep; then the tempest threatens, hell rises up against the Church and by persecution endeavours to annihilate it; but cry of distress is heard and our loving Saviour rises, with word appeases the storm, and the holy Ark of God continues its triumphant progress throughout all ages.

QUOTATION: Preaching

When the malice of wicked men increases, and converts are abused with insults, preaching, far from being curtailed, should be increased.

--St. Thomas Aquinas

QUOTATION: The Light of Christ

If we do not radiate the light of Christ around us, the sense of the darkness that prevails in the world will increase.

--Mother Teresa of Calcutta, No Greater Love

QUOTATION: No Compromise on Freedom

Better to be a beggar in freedom than to be forced into compromises against my conscience.

--Dietrich von Hildebrand
