True joy, as it turns out, comes only to those who have devoted their lives to something greater than personal happiness. This is most visible in extraordinary lives, in saints and martyrs. But it is no less true for ordinary people like us.

True repentance never leads to despair. Its leads home. It leads to grace.

True love is willing to warn, reprove, confront or admonish when necessary.

The most important task of your life is not what you do, but who you become.

Greatness is never achieved through indecision.

Make your life about something bigger than your life.

Going in faith does not necessarily mean going with serenity or without doubts. Faith can be difficult.
