What a man is in the site of God, so much he is and no more.
St Francis of Assisi
"No religion is from God that contradicts our sense of right and wrong."
Card. Newman
"How I hate this folly of not believing in the Eucharist, etc.! If the gospel be true, if Jesus be God, what difficulty is there?"
Pascal
"To understand how indispensable the Eucharist is to the practice of Christian chastity is to understand the meaning of Christianity. When Christ told us, "Without me, you can do nothing," He meant this to be taken literally. Without the constant help of His grace to enlighten our darkened minds and strengthen our weak wills, all the moral precepts of the New Testament are so much pious rhetoric or religious jargon."
Fr John Hardon
"When the rulers of the people disdain the authority of God, the people in turn despise the authority of men."
Pope Benedict XV
"Giving into one's lustful drives is irrational. Chastity is more than prudent self-control. To practice chastity there must be chastity of the eyes, chastity of the ears, chastity of thought and chastity of desire."
FR. JOHN HARDON
He who seeks not the cross of Christ, seeks not the glory of Christ.
ST JOHN OF THE CROSS
"The most absurd thing that could be said of the church is the thing we have all heard said of it. How can we say that the Church wishes to bring us back to the Dark Ages? The Church was the only thing that ever brought us out of them."
G.K. Chesterton
"Faith therefore in the Holy Eucharist is THE TEST of whether a person is a Catholic or not. And no one cheats here because God knows whether a person believes or not. Given this foundation, the faith in the Holy Eucharist is the test of being a true Catholic.."
Fr John Hardon
"I think he thought that the object of opening the mind is simply opening the mind. Whereas I am incurably convinced that the object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid." G.K. Chesterton: Autobiography.
I was raised Catholic and attended Catholic grammar and high schools. I attended a Big Ten University where I studied journalism. I then went on to receive my law degree. I practiced law for several years before I met a real man and got married. I am a former resident of Los Angeles and Detroit. I currently reside in a small town and have the pleasure of being a stay-at-home mother who homeschools her children. I also have the great privilege of attending the Traditional Latin Mass.
To be perfectly clear I love the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and all of its "trappings",...
"...So far as a man may be proud of a religion rooted in humility, I am very proud of my religion; I am especially proud of those parts of it that are most commonly called superstition. I am proud of being fettered by antiquated dogmas and enslaved by dead creeds(as my journalisitic friends repeat with so much pertinacity), for I know very well that it is the heretical creeds that are dead, and that it is only the reasonable dogma that lives long enough to be called antiquated." G.K. Chesterton
God is REAL, MIGHTY and ALL POWERFUL.--He literally-- in one moment of time-- rescued me from the abyss and I owe Him my everything.
