A Quote for the Day

  There are many things in life that cannot survive without commitment and perfection - love and commitment in marriage, celibacy in the priesthood, remission from cancer... Even a 99% faithfulness in marriage (1% adultery), 99% exercise of celibacy (1% fling), or 99% remission from (1% unexcised) cancer leaves a vulnerability to infidelity that corrupts the soul, the body, and all relationships linked to them.  

No one is too old to have fun, and enjoy a good life. Even amidst the ups and downs of life, it is still possible to have fun. It is all in the mind. Commit to be happy whatever condition there is, and happiness you will find at the tip of your fingers.

You cannot change the nature of things. The most important difference between man and animal is that man can strive to change his natural inclinations through commitment, assisted by divine grace. A cat who knows only but steal food from your table seldom change no matter what punishment you bring into it. But a wayward person can change the course of his life if he realized he followed the wrong path, and seek God's graces for the change. Beyond that the nature of things stay the way they are.
