"Sanctity is not a question of relinquishing or giving up something for Christ: It is a question of exchange. In the spiritual world, I learn that there are many things that I can get along without, and as I grow in acquaintance with Christ, I find that I can get along without sin, but I cannot get along without His peace of conscience, and so I exchange one for the other. I find by a still deeper acquaintance that I can get along without the world’s goods, but not without the wealth of Christ’s grace, and so I exchange one for the other thus , the saint goes on exchanging one thing for another. And thus it is that in making himself poor, he becomes rich, and in making himself a slave, he becomes free.”   Archbishop Fulton Sheen
