If not now, when?
Detachment and the Single Life, Part 1
“The future is in your hearts and in your hands. God is entrusting to you the task, at once difficult and uplifting, of working with Him in the building of the civilization of love.”
-Saint John Paul II
A Parent’s Greatest Gift to the Church…and the World
“The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus. When you see a priest, think of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
-St. John Vianney
To Flirt or Not to Flirt?
“The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being.”
–St. John Paul II
The Battlefield of Life
“Let us always keep before our eyes the fact that here on earth we are on a battlefield and that in paradise we shall receive the crown of victory; that this is a testing-ground and the prize will be awarded up above; that we are now in a land of exile while our true homeland is Heaven to which we must continually aspire.”
-St. Padre Pio
Accepting Life…Even When It Seems Unacceptable
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you.” -Jeremiah 1:5
A Millennial Look at Humanae Vitae
“This love is above all fully human, a compound of sense and spirit. It is not, then, merely a question of natural instinct or emotional drive. It is also, and above all, an act of the free will, whose trust is such that it is meant not only to survive the joys and sorrows of daily life, but also to grow, so that husband and wife become in a way one heart and one soul, and together attain their human fulfillment.” Blessed Paul VI
Putting Up with Trials and Temptations
“What toil we must endure, what fatigue, while we are attempting to climb hills and the summits of mountains! What, that we may ascend to heaven! If you consider the promised reward, what you endure is less. Immortality is given to the one who perseveres; everlasting life is offered; the Lord promises His Kingdom.” – St. Cyprian of Carthage
