  The world is in need of many things…it is in great need of apostles who are holy, cheerful, loyal to the Church and eager to make Christ known.  Let us ask ourselves whether we reflect extreme joy in our daily life.  We have so many reasons to be happy: the wonder of divine filiation, the comfort of Divine Mercy, the knowledge that we are on the road to heaven…the joy of being able to receive communion so often!   Francis Fernandez

    Every worldly priest hinders the growth of the Church; every saintly priest promotes it.   If only all priests realized how their holiness makes the Church holy, and how the Church begins to decline as the level of holiness among priests falls below that of the people! Ven. Fulton J. Sheen

"Suffering then, yours, mine, the Pontiffs, is at the heart of personal holiness, because it is our sharing in the obedience of Jesus which reveals his glory.  It is the means by which we are made witnesses of his suffering and sharers in the glory to come. Do not be dismayed that there are many in the Church who have not yet grasped this point, and fewer yet still in the world will even dare to consider it, but you know this to be true and it is enough, for ten men who whisper the truth, speak louder than a hundred  million who lie." Bishop Edward J. Slattery  [This is just one of the 1200 stirring quotations you will find in Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire! ]
