God tenderly gathers all the tears of the suffering and are stored in his chest, as if they were precious stones.
- Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi
Tribulation is a gift from God - one that he especially gives His special friends.

- St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Let me tell you why I believe abortion is the crucial issue of our age. First, because abortion, too, is about living within the truth. The right to life is the foundation of every other human right. If that right is not inviolate, then no right can be guaranteed. Or to put it more bluntly: Homicide is homicide, no matter how small the victim.
- Archbishop Charles J. Chaput
O Master, make me chaste, but not yet!
- St. Augustine
Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in you.
- St. Augustine
