The Good Shepherd Hit The Nail On The Head

Celibacy is the total commitment of Christ, the Bridegroom to His Bride the Church.  And from it flows power, spiritual fecundity, and increase in the kingdom.  Certainly, celibacy is impossible, just as walking on water is impossible.  But with Christ it is possible.  It was only when Peter took his eyes off Christ and took account of the winds (or in our day surveys and currents of opinion about the impossibility of celibacy) that he sank.  Only those who believe the incredible can ever do the impossible. 

(Ven. Fulton J. Sheen)

Your Destiny...Your Duty

(Image Source - Wikimedia Commons ) This is the Will of God – your sanctification.  To be a child of Mary means to be a saint.  That is your destiny.  That is your duty.  That is the one work of your life and your life's only work…there is only one sorrow: not to be a saint.  God has willed that you be a saint; has made it the whole purpose of your life, and the only meaning of all your living.  Rev. M. Raymond, O.C.S.O.
