I know that I usually put up a quote on Sundays, but this one came across my path again recently and I felt it good to post it and remind everyone of the profound wisdom in this quote from the late Francis Cardinal George. I encourage everyone to read it, slowly, and more than once. Let the words sink in to your soul. And recognize that the children that are given to the faithful in these very days will be those who will be a part of rebuilding civilization. What we do now, echoes in eternity.
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."
