  • Books

    Books are the most wonderful friends in the world. When you meet them and pick them up, they are always ready to give you a few ideas. When you put them down, they never get mad; when you take them up again, they seem to enrich you all the more.
    — Bl Fulton Sheen

  • Failure

    Every fall, even if it be very grave and repeated, serves us always and only as a little step towards a higher perfection.
    — St Maximilian Kolbe

    — St Isidore

  • Spiritual Warfare

    Faith means battles; if there are no contests, it is because there are none who desire to contend.
    – St Ambrose of Milan

  • Social Justice

    Wherever people are suffering, wherever they are humiliated by poverty or injustice, and where a mockery is made of their rights, make it your task to serve them.
    – St John Paul the Great

  • Treasure

    A Christian’s treasure is not on earth. It is in heaven. Well, then! Our thoughts must go where our treasure is. Man has a fine function: to pray and to love. You pray, you love: that is man’s happiness on earth!
    – St John Vianney
