When we want to walk tall, we’d best get down on our knees. And the minute we think we’re without sin, we’ve just committed the biggest one! To know Jesus, to hear Him, to love Him, to trust Him, to obey Him, to share His life in the deepest fiber of our being. This is our goal. If we not only believe that God loves us passionately, but actually dwells in our soul, you tell me how we can be anything but joyful.
— Cardinal Timothy Dolan
A Christian must never think of his faith as a private path. Faith demands social responsibility for whatever we believe in. Far too long, Catholic politicians on both sides of the aisle have been more faithful to the party platform than to their faith and the Gospel. We must speak with the voice of Christ.

Books: don’t buy them without advice from a Christian who is learned and prudent. It’s so easy to buy something useless or harmful.
How often a man thinks he is carrying a book under his arm, and it turns out to be a load of rubbish!
