We have this challenge and duty to restore civilization and the reign of Christ in our families, in our societies. In the end, God has not only the Church in His hands, but also world history. He permits much evil that good may shine more brightly. So, it will always be a battle, a fight—we have to keep this in mind. ~Bishop Athanasius Schneider, "Christus Vincit: Christ’s Triumph Over the Darkness of the Age"

A saint is a lover; he is in love with God. A true lover is happiest when talking to the beloved, and next to that, when he can talk about the beloved. Whatever he does, says, or thinks will always encompass the beloved or be encompassed by the beloved.
