Our ‘consumption culture’ doesn’t have a vision for the human person, it certainly doesn’t have a vision for the family. In fact, the culture would prefer that every family be broken, because a broken family needs two dishwashers, two lawnmowers, two cars and two of almost everything else. And if culture could break families up two, three, four ways, it would prefer that.”
“The people we surround ourselves with either raise or lower our standards. They either help us to become the best version of ourselves or encourage us to become lesser versions of ourselves. We become like our friends. No man becomes great on his own. No woman becomes great on her own. The people around them help to make them great."
“Freedom is not the ability to do whatever you want. Freedom is the strength of character to do what is good, true, noble, and right.”
“We don’t want to think about our weaknesses. We don’t want to talk about them, and we certainly don’t want anyone else to point them out. This is a classic sign of mediocrity, and this mediocrity has a firm grip on the Church and humanity at this moment in history.”
“Withholding love is a bit like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”
“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. Hope is one of those things that you can’t buy, but that will be freely given to you if you ask. Hope is the one thing people cannot live without. Hope is a thing of beauty.”
“The way we consume information leads us to think less and less about more and more."
