“Tribulations, if we bear them patiently for the love of God, appear bitter at first, but they grow sweet, when one gets accustomed to the taste.”

--Saint Philip Neri

Quote of the Day

"It is the Risen Lord, present among us, who protects and guides the Church, and continues to fill her with hope through the love 'poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us' (Rom 5:5). It is up to us to be docile listeners to his voice and faithful ministers of his plan of salvation, mindful that God loves to communicate himself, not in the roar of thunder and earthquakes, but in the “whisper of a gentle breeze” (1 Kings 19:12) or, as some translate it, in a “sound of sheer silence.” It is this essential and important encounter to which we must guide and accompany all the holy People of God entrusted to our care."

--Pope Leo XIV, Address to Cardinals, May 10, 2025

Quote of the Day

"The Guardian of the Redeemer taught Jesus the carpenter's trade, but above all he set him the most valuable example of what Scripture calls the 'fear of God', the very beginning of wisdom, which consists in religious submission to him and in the deep desire to seek and always carry out his will. This, dear friends, is the true source of blessing for every person, for every family and for every nation."

--Pope Saint John Paul II, Homily, May 1, 2000
