Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?

Everyone has a special calling from God....

"Our culture has many distractions that have drowned out the voice of God in the hearts of many young people.

"Yet, two thousand years of Church history teach us that in times of struggle or persecution that is when God pours out an abundance of grace to strengthen the Church.

"(Many) of the Church's greatest Saints emerged in times when the Church faced great scandal. The Holy Spirit inspired many wonderful men and women who renewed the Church in such times: Saint John of the Cross, and Saint Theresa of Avila, Saint Charles Borromeo....

"Many great men and women converted times of trial into times of grace and renewal. "
