HEROIC FORM OF LIFE

We need heroes to lift up our hopes and inspire us to live life with a sense of meaning and virtue even as we are challenged to the depths of our faith. The priesthood is a great gift won by the price of Christ’s blood, given for the world. This vocation certainly represents a heroic form of life.

SELF GIFT

The more the human person gives himself, the more he finds himself.

Pope Benedict XVI
Homily for the Solemnity of the Immaculate
Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

 

THE DAY EVERYTHING BECAME CLEAR

It seems to me that I have found my Heaven on earth, since Heaven is God, and God is [in] my soul. The day I understood that, everything became clear to me.

Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity

 

PLEASING GOD ALONE

You cannot please both God and the world at the same time. They are utterly opposed to each other in their thoughts, their desires, and their actions.

St. John Vianney
