Is boredom anything less than the sense of one's faculties slowly dying?
There is no life without work, anxieties or tensions. Peace is not found in avoiding these but in understanding them and controlling their force.
Looking at art is one way of listening to God.
All great art is a visual form of prayer.
We know great art by its effect on us. If we are prepared to look without preconceptions, without defenses, without haste, then art will change us.
Great art changes you.
You are not a saint because you keep the rules and are blameless; you are a saint if you live in the real world, going out and loving the real people God has put into your life.
Never tire of firmly speaking out in defense of life from its conception and do not be deterred from the commitment to defend the dignity of every human person with courageous determination. Christ is with you: be not afraid!
We love that s why life is full of so many wonderful gifts.
You know, we live in a day when we are more afraid of holiness than we are of sinfulness.
Set yourself up for success from the very beginning and then focus on maintaining that success.
