Remembering Francis Cardinal George, OMI – I miss this man and his voice.

“To make Christ’s love visible”
“If I could have only one word on my tombstone, it would be ‘Thanks'”
“You are my legacy”

“As the pilot of a vessel is tried in the storm; as the wrestler is tried in the ring, the soldier in the battle, and the hero in adversity: so is the Christian tried in temptation.” — St. Basil the Great

“Let each of us accept the truth of the following statement and try to make it our most fundamental principle: Christ’s teaching will never let us down, while worldly wisdom always will. Christ Himself said that this sort of wisdom was like a house with nothing but sand as its foundation, while His own was like a building with solid rock as its foundation.” — St. Vincent de Paul
