“Within the practices of religion, the Blessed Sacrament is what the Sun is to the stars; it is truly the soul of the Christian religion. It is the ineffable mystery that comprehends divine charity, by which God, truly uniting to us, communicates to us his magnificence, graces and favors.” St. Francis de Sales

“Most people today want a religion which suits the way they live, rather than one which makes demands upon them. The result is that, in order to make religion popular, too many prophets have watered down religion until it is hardly distinguishable from sentimental secularism. Religion thus becomes a luxury, like an opera, not a responsibility, like life.” Venerable Fulton Sheen

“The gentleman is the one who is modest and retiring, who waits first on the others and thinks of everyone but himself, and finds his chief happiness in making someone else happy; who, however poor and humble anyone else may be, bears to them the open palm of true nobility.” Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

“Don’t give up at halftime. Concentrate on winning the second half.” Coach Bear Bryant

Some teams find ways to win, against all odds, generally led by a leader who instills that confidence in them…with Christ as the quarterback on your team, why do you doubt?  Pick yourself back up, and fight alongside with him each and everyday!

“Alone of all creeds, Christianity has added courage to the virtues of the Creator. For the only courage worth calling courage must necessarily mean that the soul passes a breaking point and does not break.”  G.K. Chesterton
