Donald H. Calloway
“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

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

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
“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

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
