Reflect on your own mortality

by

“Christianity has always recommended the contemplation of death as an encouragement to a good life; and this is actually effective, for although we cannot go backward in time, we can go forward in time. A man can therefore say to himself, “What I am living for today, that I shall die for tomorrow.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Parenting

by

“Home life is the God-appointed training ground of human character, for from the home life of the child springs the maturity of manhood, either for good or for evil.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Joy vs. Pleasure

by

“Joy is not the same as pleasure or happiness. Joy comes from loving God and neighbor. Pleasure is quick and violent, like a flash of lightning. Joy is steady and abiding, like a fixed star. Pleasure depends on external circumstances, such as money, food, travel, etc. Joy is independent of them, for it comes from a good conscience and love of God.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

Attitude is contagious

by

“Our personal dispositions are as windowpanes through which we see the world either as rosy or dull. The way we color the glasses we wear is the way the world seems to us.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
