Strength to do battle begins with enlisting the strength of God.

You are good. But it is not enough just to be good. You must be good for something. You must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for your presence. And the good that is in you must be spread to others.

Love is the very essence of family life. Why is it that the children we love become so frequently the targets of our harsh words? Why is it that these children who love their fathers and mothers sometimes speak as if with daggers that cut to the quick? "There is beauty all around," only when there's love at home.

All of us have far too much to do to waste our time and energies in criticism, faultfinding, or the abuse of others.

Quiet talk is the language of love. It is the language of peace. It is the language of God.

Pray for the strength to walk the high road, which at times may be lonely but which will lead to peace and happiness and joy supernal.

We feel the need to emphasize with greater clarity the obligation for members of the Church to become more independent and self reliant.
