A Quote for the Day

  God does not expect a 100% 'Yes'. He knows the heart of human beings. Even in goodness and evil, humans cannot achieve perfection. He only hopes that 'Yes' is the best the human heart can give. His grace will do the rest.

  The friend who keeps in touch is the friend who stays.

There is no art in error. Only ugliness. Yet, imperfection is a birthmark of humanity, which gains for itself the only Savior it needs.

  It is when we stumble when we can find the great treasure - the great mercy of God.

  Human weakness transports us to the embrace of God... not achievements, not money, not even glory.

  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.  

  With the hunger of God welling in my soul, a soul cannot help but come back to Him again and again that he may bask in His glory, even if only in the glory of His Presence.
