This is no time to be ashamed of the Gospel. It is the time to preach it from the rooftops.

As believers, how can we fail to see that abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide are a terrible rejection of God's gift of life and love? And as believers, how can we fail to feel the duty to surround the sick and those in distress with the warmth of our affection and the support that will help them always to embrace life?

The purpose of art is nothing less than the upliftment of the human spirit.

The ethos of redemption is realied in self-mastery, by means of temperance, that is, continence of desires.

Christian holiness does not being sinless, but rather it means struggling not to give in and always getting up after every fall.

The Rosary is my favorite prayer. A marvelous prayer! Marvelous in its simplicity and its depth. In the prayer we repeat many times the words that the Virgin Mary heard from the Archangel, and from her kinswoman Elizabeth.

Holiness is not reserved for a small number of exceptional persons. It is for everyone. It is the Lord who brings us to holiness when we are willing to collaborate in the salvation of the world for the glory of God, despite our sin and our sometimes rebellious temperament.
