As a man must be born before he can begin to lead his physical life, so he must be born to lead a Divine Life. That birth occurs in the Sacrament of Baptism. To survive, he must be nourished by Divine Life; that is done in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
God has created each one of us, every human being, for greater things – to love and to be loved. But why did God make women? Because a woman’s love is one image of the love of God, and a man’s love is another image of God’s love. Both are created to love, but each in a different way. Woman and man complete each other, and together show forth God’s love more fully than each can alone.That special power of loving that belongs to a woman is seen most clearly when she becomes a mother. Motherhood is the gift of God to women. How grateful we must be to God for this wonderful gift that brings such joy to the whole world, women and men alike!
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
In the Mass the Blood of Christ flows anew for sinners.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Before God can deliver us we must undeceive ourselves.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Jesus Christ will be Lord of all, or he will not be Lord at all.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Christ held Himself in His hands when He gave His Body to His disciples saying: ‘This is My Body.’ No one partakes of this Flesh before he has adored it.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
