“It is necessary to control one’s will so that it is not abandoned to its own inclinations, but is conformed entirely to the will of God…strive to perform all of our actions solely for the intention of pleasing God.”
(From The Spiritual Combat and a Treatise On Peace of Soul)
St. John Marie Vianney
"See, my children, we must reflect that we have a soul to save, and an eternity that awaits us. The world, its riches, pleasures, and honors will pass away; heaven and hell will never pass away. Let us take care, then. The saints did not all begin well; but they all ended well. We have begun badly; let us end well, and we shall go one day and meet them in heaven."
(From The Little Catechism of The Cure of Ars)

“The Eucharist is alive. If a stranger who knew nothing about the Eucharist were to watch the way we receive, would he know this? When you and I approach the Eucharist, does it look like we believe we are about to take into our bodies the living person, Jesus Christ, true God and true man?
