“The sign of the cross is the most terrible weapon against the devil. Thus the Church wishes not only that we have it continually in front of our minds to recall to us just what our souls are worth and what they cost Jesus Christ, but also that we should make it at every juncture ourselves: when we go to bed, when we awaken during the night, when we get up, when we begin any action, and, above all, when we are tempted.” ShouldMindSoulActionNightJesusWishChristChurchFrontsTerribleCostBedWeaponsDevilJesus ChristCrossesGet UpRecallsTemptedJuncture Author:John Vianney
“The late Rev. Peter Gomes at The Memorial Church at Harvard was a true mentor to me when I was in college. He instilled in me a commitment to service, saying that it's not enough to believe in service, or support those who serve - you ought to find a way yourself to serve. When I looked at different options after college, nobody inspired me more than the 18- and 19-year-olds who serve on the front lines of our nation's military. Serving with them in the Marines as we together served our country was the greatest honor of my life to date.” WayYearsBelieveDifferentCountryEnoughTogetherNationsChurchLinesSupportMilitaryFrontsCollegeOughtHonorLateCommitmentInspiredOur CountryServingPeterMentorMarineMemorialHarvardTrue Man Author:Seth Moulton
