"The greatest obstacle in the apostolate of the Church is the timidity or rather the
cowardice of the faithful."
--Pope Saint Pius X
“Happy the soul to whom it is given to attain this life with Christ, to
cleave with all one’s heart to him whose beauty all the heavenly hosts
behold forever, whose love inflames our love, the contemplation of whom
is our refreshment, whose graciousness is our delight, whose gentleness
fills us to overflowing, whose remembrance makes us glow with happiness,
whose fragrance revives the dead, the glorious vision of whom will be
the happiness of all the citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem."
--Saint Clare of Assisi
