Soren Kierkegaard"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Such as these shall see God.

Joel OsteenIf devotion to the Blessed Virgin is necessary for all men simply to work out their salvation, it is even more necessary for those who are called to a special perfection.

She carried through her life raising everybody. That is my model.

Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

The Lord's commission to 'preach the gospel to every creature' (Mark 16:15) will never change in our dispensation.
