Flee idleness… for no one is more exposed to such temptations than he who has nothing to do.
— St. Robert Bellarmine
Quote of the Night
Clearly, what God wants, above all, is our will, which we received as a free gift from God in creation and possess as though our own. When a man trains himself to acts of virtue, it is with the help of grace from God, from whom all good things come … The will is what man has, as his unique possession.— St. Joseph of Cupertino

| “Marriage releases the flesh from its individual selfishness for the service of the family; the vow of chastity releases the flesh not only from the narrow and circumscribed family, where there can still be selfishness, but also for the service of that family that embraces all humanity. That is why the Church asks those who consecrate themselves to the redemption of the world to take a vow and to surrender all selfishness, that they may belong to no one family and yet belong to all. That is why in that larger family of the kingdom of God, the priest is called “Father” —because he has begotten children not in the flesh, but in the spirit.” —Venerable Fulton Sheen, p. 117 |

The boys came off the bus, practiced piano and Ignatius and Mary practiced violin, then asked if they would be able to ride horse.
Quote of the Day
“A friend is more to be longed for than the light; I speak of a genuine one. And wonder not: for it were better for us that the sun should be extinguished, than that we should be deprived of friends; better to live in darkness, than to be without friends.”— St. John Chrysostom
