“There are certain things in life which are too beautiful to be forgotten, such as the love of a mother.  Hence we treasure her picture.  The love of soldiers who sacrificed themselves for their country is likewise too beautiful to be forgotten, hence we revere their memory on Memorial Day.  But the greatest blessing which ever came to this earth was the visitation of the Son of God in the form and habit of man.  His life, above all lives, is too beautiful to be forgotten, hence we treasure the divinity of His Words in Sacred Scripture, and the charity of His Deeds in our daily actions.  Unfortunately this is all some souls remember, namely His Words and His Deeds; important as these are, they are not the greatest characteristic of the Divine Saviour.  The most sublime act in the history of Christ was His Death.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Calvary and the Mass)
