Prayer Is Helplessness Casting Itself On Power...
Prayer is helplessness casting itself on Power, infirmity leaning on Strength, misery reaching to Mercy, and a prisoner clamoring for Relief. - Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

...without the Way there is no going; without the Truth, there is no knowing; without the Life, there is no living.
...without the Way there is no going; without the Truth, there is no knowing; without the Life, there is no living. The Way becomes lovable, not when it is in abstract codes and commandments, but when it is Personal. As Plato once said, "The Father of the world is hard to discover, and when discovered cannot be communicated." Our Lord's answer to Plato would have been that the Father is hard to discover unless He is revealed through the Person of His Son. - Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Urged On By Love Of Christ To Proclaim The Good News Everywhere In The World
Those who with God's help have welcomed Christ's call and freely responded to it are urged on by love of Christ to proclaim the Good News everywhere in the world. This treasure, received from the apostles, has been faithfully guarded by their successors. All Christ's faithful are called to hand it on from generation to generation, by professing the faith, by living it in fraternal sharing, and by celebrating it in liturgy and prayer. - CCC 3

Lay A Successful Siege Against The World's Many Barricaded Hearts - Breaching Their Walls With Love
The Pharisees were unbelieving. They didn’t want to believe in a Messiah that didn’t fit their pre-conceived ideas, and so they found ways to justify their resistance – if Jesus drives out demons, he must be possessed by a stronger demon, that’s all. Imagine how Christ’s heart reacted to those accusations, such stubborn resistance to his grace. Imagine how it reacts to the disbelief of so many people who refuse to see the signs of his love and truth in the world today.
When a friend is in pain, you do whatever you can to comfort him. Christians can comfort Christ by keeping their own faith fresh and, above all, by living a real, practical, and universal Christian charity. That’s the only way to lay a successful siege against the world’s many barricaded hearts – breaching their walls with love, so the gift of faith can come streaming in. - Fr. Bartunek

Whatever Is True, Whatever Is Noble, Whatever Is Pure, Whatever Is Lovely...
"...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - Philippians 4:8

Law that is not in accordance with the moral law is stripped of authoritative power, but is simply enforced by brute force. Nothing in it binds conscience. Therefore, government must not abandon its ground in objective moral law. However, it does not need to enforce the entirety of the moral law. Only those that are most directly and clearly bring necessary stability to a society. Marriage is paramount. - Anthony Summers

Throwing Away The Teaching Of The Gospel Cannot Make People Happy
Liberalism and throwing away the precepts of the Church and throwing away the teaching of the Gospel cannot make people happy. Only God can make people happy...the Fulfillment of all desire. - Gabrielle Catillo

Don't Let Yourselves Be Intimidated By An Environment That Pretends To Exclude God
Don't let yourselves be intimidated by an environment that pretends to exclude God, and in which power, possessions and pleasure are often the criteria by which people judge their lives. - Pope Benedict XVI

America Is Suffering From Indifference To Truth
America is suffering not so much from intolerance, which is bigotry, as it is from tolerance, which is indifference to truth and error, and a philosophical nonchalance that has been interpreted as broad-mindedness. - Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The Supreme Court Cannot Give Us The Right To Do Wrong
There is no such thing as a right to take an innocent human life. The Supreme Court cannot give us the right to do wrong. There is no such thing as 'the right to abortion.' It is a legal fiction. To talk about same-sex marriage is to talk about dry water. Because same-sex contradicts the nature of marriage, just as dry contradicts the nature of water. Dry water is an oxy-moron. It is a non-existent thing. Same-sex marriage does not exist. The Church is not swayed by politics or by popular opinion. She sees reality. She sees the truth. The Church gives us a clear vision of the mind of Christ. And this is really what the Gospel speaks of, "the wisdom that God has hidden from the learned and the clever but revealed to his merest children." The learned and the clever were the people who went to school, the scribes, the pharisees. The virtue of wisdom allows a young adult to be wiser than the majority of justices on the Supreme Court. - Fr. Tito

To Arrive At Christ, Man Must Be On The Path Of Truth
If Christ is the Logos, the truth, man must correspond to Him with his own logos, with his reason. To arrive at Christ, man must be on the path of truth. - Pope Benedict XVI

Looking Through This Distorted World's Lenses
The world in which we now live is a world whose outlook is so distorted that we absolutize what is relative (money-making, power, success) and relativize what is absolute (truth, moral values, and God). Power, riches, fame, success, and dominance are idolized; humility, chastity, modesty, self-sacrifice, and service are looked down upon as signs of weakness. - Doctor Alice von Hildebrand

Without Truth There Is No Social Conscience And Responsibility
Without truth, without trust and love for what is true, there is no social conscience and responsibility, and social action ends up serving private interests and the logic of power. - Pope Benedict XVI

To Obey The Catholic Church Is To Obey God
To obey the Catholic church is to obey God because the Catholic church is God's living voice. Proof of that is 20+ centuries of existence unlike any other institution in history. The Roman empire tried repeatedly to destroy the Catholic church and FAILED. This is a historical fact. "The gates of hell will not prevail against it." (Matthew 16: 18) - Michael Fanelli
