Papal Quote o' the Day
"There is one truth that we think is self-evident for all to see. When the sacred rights of God & religion are ignored or infringed upon, the foundations of human society will sooner or later crumble & give way."
—Pope Saint John XXIII (1881-1963, r. 1958-1963; feast: 11 October)
Saint Quote o' the Day
"Sometimes people are hungry for more than bread. It is possible that our children, our husband, our wife, do not hunger for bread, do not need clothes, do not lack a house. But are we equally sure that they do not feel alone, abandoned, neglected, or in need of some affection?"
—Saint Teresa of Calcutta, M.C. (1910-1997, feast: 5 September)
Mother Teresa Quote o' the Day
"Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love."
—Saint Teresa of Calcutta, M.C. (1910-1997, feast: 5 September)
Archbishop Sheen Quote o' the Day
"Love of self without love of God is selfishness; love of neighbor without love of God embraces only those who are pleasing to us, not those who are hateful."
—Venerable Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
