Edward Sri
“It is only by learning to give up our freedom to do whatever we, in our fallen human nature, want, and by entrusting our lives entirely to a God who knows what is truly best for us and desires our happiness that we discover the deeper freedom to live life to the fullest—a freedom that is possessed only when we live totally in the Lord’s plan.”
Edward Sri, Walking with Mary: A Biblical Journey from Nazareth to the Cross

Athanasius Schneider
“In his inaugural encyclical E Supremi, St. Pius X remarked that so serious was the gathering storm of error at the beginning of the twentieth century that he would not be surprised to hear that the Antichrist was already on this earth.”
Athanasius Schneider, Christus Vincit: Christ's Triumph Over the Darkness of the Age

Edward Sri
“Similarly, unless individuals are trained in generosity in their so-called private lives, they are going to do selfish things that will hurt other people. Unless individuals are formed in courage and taught to endure suffering for the sake of what is good, they will do cowardly things that hurt other people. Unless individuals are trained in chastity, sobriety, and other forms of self-control, they will do out-of-control things that use and hurt other people. Social harmony is built on the inner harmony of individuals. A great society is built not just on good laws but fundamentally on men and women of great moral character.”
Edward Sri, Who Am I to Judge?: Responding to Relativism with Logic and Love

Donald H. Calloway
“To you, O Blessed Joseph, we have recourse in our affliction, and having implored the help of your most holy spouse, we now, with hearts filled with confidence, earnestly beg you to take us under your protection. Through that sacred bond of charity which united you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by that fatherly love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you to look graciously upon the beloved inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by his blood, and to aid us in our necessities with your power and strength. Defend, O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen children of Jesus Christ. Keep from us, O most loving father, all blight of error and corruption. Aid us from on high, most valiant defender, in this conflict with the powers of darkness. And just as you once saved the Child Jesus from mortal danger, so now defend God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity. Shield us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and strengthened by your help, we may be able to live a virtuous life, die a happy death, and obtain everlasting bliss in heaven. Amen.11”

“Countries once established on Judeo-Christian principles have become overrun by ideologies and organizations that seek to strip society of all that is sacred. Without a major turnaround, civilization itself is going to self-destruct.”
Donald H. Calloway, Consecration to St. Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father
