Edward Sri
“Mary will be required to exhibit total trust in God, which means “to abandon oneself” to the living God and the mystery of his will. Indeed, Mary’s faith will be tested over and over again. And each time she will pass the test, “accepting fully and with a ready heart everything that is decreed in the divine plan.”†”
Edward Sri, Walking with Mary: A Biblical Journey from Nazareth to the Cross

Robert Sarah
“In our materialistic civilization, man thinks almost exclusively of his own narrow interests. He sees God as the one who ought to provide him with what consumption does not give him. God is utilized to satisfy selfish demands. If he does not answer prayer, they abandon him. Some even go so far as to blaspheme his holy name. The religion that ought to connect heaven and earth then runs the risk of becoming a purely narcissistic space.”
Robert Cardinal Sarah, The Day Is Now Far Spent

Edward Sri
“Only when we are convinced, like Mary was, of how little we can really do on our own and how utterly dependent we are on God can the Lord begin to act in magnificent ways in us and through us.”
Edward Sri, Walking with Mary: A Biblical Journey from Nazareth to the Cross

Athanasius Schneider
“Now we have reached a peak of secularism, of this complete independence of man, of this enormous anthropocentrism where everyone decides for himself what is true and what is good or evil. Such secularism brings us a horrible and cruel society. We are witnessing this—it is cruel. And what is the result? Egoism.”
Athanasius Schneider, Christus Vincit: Christ's Triumph Over the Darkness of the Age

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
