May All Our Priests Be Holy

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons)
God is holy; that holiness comes to earth in Christ.  He bestows it on his priests with their cooperation; they, in the measure in which they accept, contribute to making the people holy.  The people do not give the priest the special powers to sanctify which he possesses.  It is our Lord who gave these powers, and He gave them to enable the priest to make the people holy.

Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Don't Let The Enemies of Truth Win

 

But, Lord, It Is So Difficult

(Image Source- Wikimedia Commons) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work.   Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings.   One Bread, One Body

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence.  (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
