Truth be told, our modern education systems crush the very spirit they claim to instill.
Matthew KellyOur culture places a very high premium on self-expression, but is relatively disinterested in producing "selves" that are worth expressing.
Matthew KellyWhen you stand still, you reject the struggle, and you refuse to change and grow. Ultimately, you reject fulfillment, happiness, the dance for joy and everything else that is eternally good.
Matthew KellyMany people falsely believe that if you want to be holy, you are not allowed to enjoy life...Holiness brings us to life. It refines every human ability. Holiness doesn't dampen our emotions; it elevates them. Those who respond to God's call to holiness are the most joyful people in history. They have a richer, more abundant experience of life, and they love more deeply than most people can every imagine. They enjoy life, all of life.
