SS. Cosmas & Damian Parish

“Genuine love … is demanding. But its beauty lies precisely in the demands it makes. Only those able to make demands on themselves in the name of love can then demand love from others.”

“You are gift.”

“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you.”

“Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice."

“All the hungers we have for love, for union, for happiness are given by God to lead us to him. The difference between a saint and the greatest sinner is where they go to satisfy that hunger.”

“Living the Christian life is not a matter of repressing our desires, but of redeeming them.”

“Either man governs his passions and finds peace, or he lets himself be dominated by them and becomes unhappy”

“Man becomes an image of God not so much in the moment of solitude as in the moment of communion.”
