And you may be certain of this–unless you really are more ignorant than anyone — that the arm of holy Church, though it may well be weak, is not broken. From its weakness this arm always emerges strengthened, as do those who stay close to it.

We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
The elderly have a rich storehouse of memories, and inner landscape to explore: times lost in idleness, opportunities well used, a fulfilling career, children grown up and suffering gone through with dignity and courage.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
God wills that our desire should be exercised in prayer, that we may be able to receive what He is prepared to give.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
We count on God’s mercy for our past mistakes, on God’s love for our present needs, on God’s sovereignty for our future.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
All those who belong to Jesus Christ are fastened with Him to the cross.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
