Sacraments

“The future of Christianity depends on professed Christians understanding — and I mean understanding — the necessity of the sacraments for reaching eternal life”

-Fr. John A. Hardon S.J.

“It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of understanding what we mean by the sacraments as channels of divine grace. We might almost say that Christianity is divided into two classes: those who believe that Christ instituted the sacraments as instruments of His grace and those who do not.”

-Fr. John A. Hardon S.J.

Listening to Christ

“Many will tell you that they are ready to listen to Christ, but these same people will continue to ignore His Church. This is what I call “dividing Christ.” On the one hand claiming to be a Christian and a Catholic, and on the other hand not only paying no attention to the teachings of the Church, but studiously evading the obvious declarations and decisions of the Vicar of Christ and the Holy See.”
-Fr. John A. Hardon S.J.

The Greater Challenge

JESUS CHRIST SAID:
“If any man will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it.”

-Mark 8:35-35

Fill Your Lungs

“Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.

Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God's heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to Him with your heart.”

-Padre Pio

Young Human Beings

“It is not enough for Christian parents to nourish only the bodies of their children; even animals do this. They must also nourish their souls in grace, in virtue, and in God's holy commandments.”

- St. Catherine of Siena
