"Jesus Christ was the only man ever born into the world in order to die."
Father Andrew Apostoli about Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's quote
---
Precious Blood wash over me and protect me from the wickedness and snares of the devil.
---
"...teach me how to nourish my prayers to be really like Yours, by true, generous sacrifice-
renouncing some well-earned repose, detaching myself from creatures, being silent and
interiorly recollected. Grant that I may be faithful in performing my duties, that I may
prove my love by little voluntary mortifications, and may joyfully accept Your will in
all circumstances of my life."
Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D**

"I beseech You, Lord, grant me that grace without which I shall never be at
peace with my neighbor, but will every be prompt to take offense.

of others!
If I expect others to bear with my defects, I must likewise bear with them."
Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D.

You; with patience, humility, conformity of Your Divine Will, and supreme diligence..."
Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D.
