Sin is an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience; it is failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods. It wounds the nature of man and injures human solidarity. It has been defined as "an utterance, a deed, or a desire contrary to the eternal law." - Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1849
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth." - 2 Timothy 2:15
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." - John 10:10
“Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern the reflections and thoughts
"I swear I will faithfully, loyally and honourably serve the Supreme Pontiff Francis and his legitimate successors, and also dedicate myself to them with all my strength, sacrificing if necessary also my life to defend them. I assume this same commitment with regard to the Sacred College of Cardinals whenever the See is vacant. Furthermore I promise to the Commanding Captain and my other superiors, respect, fidelity and obedience. This I swear! May God and our Holy Patrons assist me!" - The Roman Curia

Andreas Widmer - Author of The Pope & The CEO: Pope John Paul II’s Lessons to a Young Swiss Guard
“John Paul II showed me what real leadership looks like. He modeled for me how to pursue our God-given potential. Not coincidentally, this also makes us and those around us better employees, more capable of and more willing to work hard at building a stronger company. That’s something that makes both good human sense and good business sense.” -- Andreas Widmer
"But I want to share with you how learning about the saints and doctors of the Church taught me to love the diversity and strength of women in the communion of saints." - Haley, a Catholic convert, wife, and bookish mama
Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
[Chorus:]
Saviour he can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
[Chorus 2x]
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen king Jesus [2x]
[Chorus 2x]
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen king Jesus [6x]

"Everyone works in the service of man. We doctors work directly on man himself... We have opportunities to do good that the priest doesn't have. Our mission is not finished when medicines are no longer of use. We must bring the soul to God... Catholic doctors are so necessary!"
"The mission of Mary's Advocates is to strengthen marriage, to eliminate forced no-fault divorce, and to support those who have been unjustly abandoned by their spouse."
From the heart of a parent, uniting with Mary in prayer and reflecting on the thoughts she may
have had beginning with her son's infancy, then empathizing with her being confronted with Christ's Passion, is an incomprehensible experience. To imagine her as a mother witness her son after the Resurrection, is simply stunning, captivating, and points one to God's grace, comfort, power, and miracle available in the lives of us all. - Edward C.L.D., Catholic Dads HQ
Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth "When mathematicians have difficulties doing their calculations, they don't allow their difficulties to turn into doubts about the established truths of mathematics. Instead, they study harder and learn more about mathematics so they can understand how its parts fit together. So it is with the Catholic faith." Eternal Word Television Network
