“A giant statue of Atlas, bending and groaning and grunting under the weight of the world, that is modern man!  The world is too much with him, late and soon.  The world is too heavy for him and man is breaking under it, trying like a silly child to carry it alone, without any help or grace or faith from God.  No one will get out of this crisis without carrying some burden.  Atlas will never get out from under that world; the man Who carried the Cross will get out from under it, for it leads to Resurrection and a crown in life eternal.  This is the choice before us: either try to revolutionize the world and break under it, or revolutionize ourselves and remake the world.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Lenten & Easter Inspirations)
