"Love tends upward;
it will not be held down by anything low."
Thomas a Kempis in Imitation of Christ
"If we but paused for a moment to consider attentively
what takes place in this Sacrament,
I am sure that the thought of Christ's love for us
would transform the coldness of our hearts
into a fire of love and gratitude."
St. Angela of Foligno

St John Paul II, in a March 19, 1981, homily, asked,
“Where, dear father, will you be able to draw the energy
necessary to assume in various circumstances
the right attitude that your children,
even without knowing it, expect from you?”
He strongly advised against smothering their spontaneity or
abandoning them to a state of insecurity or loneliness.
abandoning them to a state of insecurity or loneliness.
“St. Joseph is the answer to this,” he proclaimed.
"St Joseph was an ordinary sort of man
on whom God relied to do great things.
He did exactly what the Lord wanted him to do,
in each and every event that went to make up his life."
