“Every saint received their faith and their formation in the faith from God, through the mediation of others.” – Fr. John Bartunek

‘Both St. Therese and St. Mary Magdalene have personal vocations to proclaim the good news and the Mercy of God.” – Brittany Brosdahl
“There is a vocation that precedes all the others. Before anything else, we are called to be loved by God.” – Claire Dwyer
“Imagine the glory of billions of new thoughts, stories, and insights that will come from being perfectly members of Christ and of one another. Imagine the peace that will come from understanding and being understood. This is deep, satisfying, wonderful communion—not crowds of strangers.” – Monsignor Charles Pope

“Saint Ignatius created the Rules of Discernment for us as a sort of spiritual ‘flare’ or night vision device to cut through the fog.” – Megan Hjelmstad
