Quote/s of the Day – 31 March – “Laetare” Fourth Sunday of Lent, Year C
“There is more joy in heaven over a converted sinner
than over a righteous person standing firm.
A leader in battle has more love for a soldier
who returns after fleeing and who valiantly pursues the enemy,
than for one who never turned back
but who never acted valiantly either.
A farmer has greater love for land which bears fruitfully,
after he has cleared it of thorns, than for land
which never had thorns but which never yielded a fruitful harvest.”
St Pope Gregory the Great (540-604)
Father & Doctor of the Church

“The sun of our lives is the Eucharist.”
“The earth is filled with tabernacles – Praise Him!”
St Luigi Guanella (1842-1915)
“Real joy
seems to me,
almost as unlike
security or prosperity,
as it is unlike
agony.”
“You can’t go back
and change the beginning
but you can start where you are
and change the ending.”
“He died for us.
Why not live for Him?”
