"Salvation means...a never-ceasing attack on every wrong institution, until the earth becomes a new earth, and all its cities, cities of God." -Richard Ely
Worried that young people are coming to church for the wrong reasons? Nervous about the "Quiet Revival"? Well, er, okay.... but have you asked some young people why they are coming to church?

What a lovely shadow to begin the day.
“Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did.”
Saint Maximilian Kolbe
Lord of all power and might
the author and giver of all good things:
Graft in our hearts
the love of your Name;
increase in us true religion;
nourish us with all goodness;
and bring forth in us
the fruit of good works;
through Jesus Christ our Lord…
Amen.
Sin is a wound; repentance is a medicine. Just as there are for the body wounds and medicines, so for the soul are sins and repentance. However, sin has the shame and repentance possesses the courage.
-St. Chrysostom
