Quote of the Day

"The Word of God who unites us is Christ the Lord, the desired of the nations. It is He who rises from the East as the rising sun, He whom America met and embraced five hundred years ago, thanks to the maternal tenderness of Mary who deigned to manifest herself to Juan Diego with the Indian features of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Touched to the heart by the divine mercy revealed in these features, from that moment on, America marches forward in the hope of the God who comes in Christ, in the midst of the hopes and challenges of the present time."

--Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Homily, December 10, 2012

Quote of the Day

"Let us ask ourselves: is my heart weighed down by fear, worries and anxieties about the future? Do I know how to look at daily events and the vicissitudes of history with God’s eyes, in prayer, with a broader horizon? Or do I let myself be overcome by despondency? May this Advent season be a precious opportunity to lift our gaze to Him, who lightens our hearts and sustains us on our way."

--Pope Francis, Angelus, December 1, 2024
