Papal Quote o' the Day
"Faith humiliates our pride of imagined self-sufficiency & at the same time opens our hearts to the immense & exalting proportions of the revealing Word of God. On the threshold of the crib, of the Gospel, of salvation stands faith."Saint Quote o' the Day
—Pope Saint Paul VI (1897-1978, r. 1963-1978; feast: 29 May)
"If we pray, we will believe. If we believe, we will love. If we love, we will serve."
—Saint Teresa of Calcutta, M.C. (1910-1997, feast: 5 September)
Mother Teresa Quote o' the Day
"I heard the Pope John Paul II speak about peace, & one thing he said was this: 'No to violence & yes to peace.' What is violence? In the first place, we think of weapons, knives, killings. We never think of connecting violence with our tongues. But the first weapon, the cruelist weapon, is the tongue. Examine what part your tongue has played in creating peace or violence. We can really wound a person, we can kill a person, with our tongue."Archbishop Sheen Quote o' the Day
—Saint Teresa of Calcutta, M.C. (1910-1997, feast: 5 September)
"It is not easy to explain why God permits evil; but it is impossible for an atheist to explain the existence of goodness. How could a spiritless, soulless, crossless, Godless universe become the center of faith, purity, sacrifice, & martyrdom? How can decency be the decent thing if there is no God? Since God is love, why should we be surprised that want ot it should end in pain, hate, broken hearts, & war?"
—Venerable Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
