“Today Christ is asking each of you the same question: do you love Me? He is not asking you whether you know how to speak to crowds, whether you can direct an organization or manage an estate. He is asking you to love Him. All the rest will ensue.”  St. John Paul II

“Friendship with Christ, which forms the basis of faith, is not just one aid among many others for building the future; it is our guiding star.” Pope Leo XIV

“The way Jesus shows you is not easy.  Rather, it is like a path winding up a mountain.  Do not lose heart!  The steeper the road, the faster it rises toward ever wider horizons!”  St. John Paul II

“I leave myself in God’s hands to work out my sanctification as He planned. In order to arrive at what I cannot understand, I must go by the way I cannot understand. And each time that I make up my mind to do this, I am more convinced that He will lead me by the way of solitude. Every time I pray, get into my cloud, get recollected, that desire and that conviction deepen. I only need to leave everything absolutely to Him and go blindly where He leads me.” Thomas Merton

“Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.” St. John Paul II
