April Catholic Quote To Live By
“The Lord’s triumph, on the day of the Resurrection, is final.
Where are the soldiers the rulers posted there?
Where are the seals that were fixed to the stone of the tomb?
Where are those who condemned the Master?
Where are those who crucified Jesus?
He is victorious and faced with His victory,
those poor wretches have all taken flight.
Be filled with hope:
Jesus Christ is always victorious.”
– St. Josemarie Escrivá

November Catholic Quote To Live By
“What made the holy apostles and martyrs endure fierce agony and bitter torments, except faith and especially faith in the resurrection? What is it that today makes true followers of Christ cast luxuries aside, leave pleasures behind and endure difficulties and pain? It is a living faith that expresses itself through love. It is this that makes us put aside the goods of the present in the hope of future goods. It is because of faith that we exchange the present for the future.”
– St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen

Christ in the flesh, rejoice with trembling and with joy; with trembling because of your sins, with joy because of your hope.”
– St. Gregory Nazianzen

Yesterday, I drove on the interstate in “the city” to drop a friend off at the airport. I consider it a huge accomplishment. You may say, “So what? I drive to the city all the time.” For me, it is a big deal! When I was young, I had some negative experiences driving...
