Citing of the Week
"Eyes that see problems quickly become expert in seeing problems. Seeing grace first does not diminish the reality of the difficulties in a situation but it does allow us to respond properly."

FEAST OF PETER CANISIUS, PRIEST, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH [Commemoration]
Give it your all
Saint Peter Canisius might have been what today we call a Type A personality. He lived at a pace that illustrated his saying, “If you have too much to do, with God’s help you will find time to do it all.” Sometimes it seems that he did do it all. He had a master’s degree by 19, became a popular preacher, a founder of the Catholic press, and a diplomat who used his gifts to bring the challenge of Christian values into the marketplace. Whether or not we have as much energy as Peter Canisius, the important thing is to give what we have and do what we can.
