“We follow the Eucharistic Prayer with the Our Father, the prayer that Jesus taught us. We find it in the ancient liturgies, and it should have richer meaning for us in the context of the Mass-and especially in the context of the Mass as heaven on earth. We have renewed our baptism as children of God, Whom we can call "Our Father." We are now in heaven with Him, having lifted up our hearts. We have hallowed His name by praying the Mass. By uniting our sacrifice with Jesus' eternal sacrifice, we have seen God's will done "on earth as it is in heaven." We have before us Jesus, our "daily bread," and this bread will "forgive us our trespasses," because Holy Communion wipes away all venial sins. We have known mercy, then, and so we show mercy, forgiving "those who trespass against us." And through Holy Communion we will know new strength over temptations and evil. The Mass fulfills the Lord's Prayer, perfectly, word for word.”

“Our Father GOD is the measure by which we know the shortcomings of earthly dads and earthly clergy; for their vocation is to be His image on earth. GOD allows them to fail so that we might seek perfect fatherhood in Him.”
― Scott Hahn & Mike Aquilina

“Happiness is found to the extent that we develop habits and skills that give us the capacity to reach out to others.”

“[In Baptism] [W]e didn't really die. We weren't really buried. We weren't really crucified and raised again. We imitated these symbolically - yet our salvation was a reality!”
