If people spent an hour a week in Eucharistic adoration, abortion would be ended.   -St. Teresa of Calcutta
“Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.    -St. Therese of Lisieux

“Everyone on this earth has a cross; therefore we must be careful not to be like the bad thief, but rather like the good one.”    St. Pio of Pietrelcina
"To give worthy praise to the Lord's mercy, we unite ourselves with Your Immaculate Mother, for then our hymn will be more pleasing to You, because She is chosen from among men and angels. Through Her, as through a pure crystal, Your mercy was passed on to us. Through Her, man became pleasing to God; Through Her, streams of grace flowed down upon us."   - St. Faustina


“Most Catholics seem to be aware of the forty-day period before the feast of Easter.  Lent, which comes from the Anglo-Saxon work lencten, meaning ‘spring,’ is a time marked by particular rituals, such as the reception of ashes on Ash Wednesday or the decision to ‘give up French Fries’ as a Lenten practice.  Is Lent broader than just these practices which seem to be left over from another era?”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Lent and Easter Wisdom from Fulton J. Sheen)
“When I think of Christian homes, I like to imagine them as being full of the light and joy that was found in the home of the Holy Family.” (St. JosemarĂ­a Escrivá)
