Quote/s of the Day – 25 April – Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Easter and the Feast of St Mark the Evangelist
Speaking of: Being Catholic
“I would not believe in the Gospel,
had not the authority
of the Catholic Church
already moved me.”
St Augustine (354-430) Father & Doctor
“In her voyage,
across the ocean of this world,
the Church is like a great ship
being pounded by the waves
of life’s different stresses.
Our duty is not to abandon ship
but to keep her on her course.”
St Boniface (672-754) Father & Martyr
“Jesus is with me.
I have nothing to fear.”
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901-1925)
“The Jesus of the Gospels
is surely not convenient for us.”
“The Jesus who makes everything okay
for everyone is a phantom,
a dream,
not a real figure…”
Pope Benedict XVI
“Catholicism is a matter
of the body
and the senses,
as much as it is a matter
of the mind,
precisely because,
the Word became flesh.”
“Easter is an earthquake,
an explosion.
If you see it as less than that,
you’re not getting it.”
Bishop Robert Barron
“At some point,
Jesus is going to call you out.
That’s what He does.”
Father Mike Schmitz
