"Easter is not automatic. Not in vain is its symbol--the egg. The hard shell of egotism, avarice and immorality has to be broken, before the inner life begins to appear. America on the cross-roads of civilization is having forced on it the burdens of the world. Its day of resurrection will be when it sees that, not like Atlas is it bearing the world, but like the Savior, it is walking on it and carrying His Cross."  Archbishop Fulton Sheen
