• To some extent, this urge to break out of the ordinary is present in every generation. Part of being young is desiring something beyond everyday life and a secure job, a yearning for something really truly greater. Is this simply an empty dream that fades away as we become older? No! Men and women were created for something great, for infinity. Nothing else will ever be enough.

  Pope Benedict XVI

• A man will not roll in the snow for a stream of tendency by which all things fulfill the law of their being.

He will do these things when he is in love.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

• A saint is Christ's bride, totally attached, faithful, dependent. A saint is also totally independent, detached from idols and from other husbands...

As with water, he flows to the lowest places - like Calcutta.

  With a glory they could not contain?
