Quotes of the Day:
“The world’s thy ship and not thy home.” — St. Therese of Lisieux
“Death is no more than falling blindly into the arms of God.”
— St. Maria Maravillas de Jesus
“No earthly pleasures, no kingdoms of this world can benefit me in any way. I prefer death in Christ Jesus to power over the farthest limits of the earth. He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.”
“After all I die as a child of the Church. My Lord, it is time to move on. Well then, may Your will be done. O my Lord and my Spouse, the hour that I have longed for has come. It is time for us to meet one another.”
