Never forget that there are only two philosophies to rule your life: the one of the cross, which starts with the fast and ends with the feast. The other of Satan, which starts with the feast and ends with the headache.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
It is not particularly difficult to find thousands who will spend. hours a day in exercising, but if you ask them to bend their knees to God in five minutes of prayer they protest that it is too long.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Very few people believe in the devil these days, which suits the devil very well. He is always helping to circulate the news of his own death. The essence of God is existence, and He defines Himself as: ‘I am Who am.’ The essence of the devil is the lie, and he defines himself as: ‘I am who am not.’ Satan has very little trouble with those who do not believe in him; they are already on his side.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
So long as there are poor, – I am poor, – So long as there are prisons, – I am a prisoner, – So long as there are sick, – I am weak, – So long as there is ignorance, – I must learn the truth, – So long as there is hate, – I must love, – So long as there is hunger, – I am famished. – Such is the identification Our Divine Lord would have us make with all whom He made in love and for love.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Let us love, since that is all our hearts were made for.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
