The Rosary Is A School Of Prayer.

If We Wish To Follow Christ Closely, We Cannot Choose An Easy, Quiet Life. It Will Be A Demanding Life, But Full Of Joy.

I Want The Church To Go Out Onto The Streets, I Want Us To Resist Everything Worldly, Everything Static, Everything Comfortable...eve Rything That Might Make Us Closed In On Ourselves.

I Do Not Know What Might Be The Most Fitting Description.... I Am A Sinner. This Is The Most Accurate Definition. It Is Not A Figure Of Speech, A Literary Genre. I Am A Sinner. And This Is What I Said When They Asked Me If I Would Accept My Election As Pontiff: I Am A Sinner, But I Trust In The Infinite Mercy And Patience Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, And I Accept In A Spirit Of Penance.

The Culture Of Prosperity Deadens Us; We Are Thrilled If The Market Offers Us Something New To Purchase; And In The Meantime All Those Lives Stunted For Lack Of Opportunity Seem A Mere Spectacle; They Fail To Move Us.

The Search For God Means Having The Courage To Set Out On A Risky Path, It Means Following Our Restless Hearts.
