Archbishop Chaput has pointed out the current problems with the world.
“2000 years ago Jesus ended the debate of which lives matter. He died for all!”
“In every deed and every thought, act as though you were to die this very day.”
“Lord, help me to know what you want me to do, and give me the courage to do it.” – St. Ignatius
“In these days, therefore, let us add something beyond the wonted measure of our service, such as private prayers and abstinence in food and drink. Let each one, over and above the measure prescribed for him, offer God something of his own freewill in the joy of the Holy Spirit.”
St. Benedict: Rule, 49. (6th century)
