To live without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for truth, that is not living but existing

The end for which we are created invites us to walk a road that is surely sown with a lot of thorns, but it is not sad; through even the sorrow, it is illuminated by joy.

To live without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for truth, that is not living but existing

God gives us health so that we may serve the sick.

The higher we go, the better we shall hear the voice of Christ

You ask me whether I am in good spirits. How could I not be so? As long as Faith gives me strength I will always be joyful. Sadness ought to be banished from Catholic souls... the purpose for which we have been created shows us the path; even if strewn with many thorns, it is not a sad path. It is joyful even in the face of sorrow.

Jesus is with me. I have nothing to fear.
