What is the best quote you have heard from your Parish Priest, or any cleric for that matter, either from the Sanctuary or even in the queue at Sainsbury's.

"We need another Crusade people"
"An adult faith does not follow the waves of fashion and the latest novelty."
"Having a clear faith, according to the credo of the church, is often labelled as fundamentalism."
Pope Benedict XVI

"We are guaranteed redemption. We are not guaranteed salvation."
He reckons it's not original though he can't remember where it came from. In the context of the sermon he was preaching at the time it is one of the most telling things I've heard from a priest in a long time.

When Bishop Heenan went to Leeds he found the Diocese in disarray. His first major iniative was to move clergy who had not been pulling their weight. A move to a deprived area and a grotty presbytery was a sort of, er community service. Good boys were rewarded. About a third of the clergy were moved in one day flat. A week or two later more were moved.

When the time came for announcements after Mass our curate said

Quote:
 
My Dear Brethren, Goodbye.  It has been a pleasure to serve the people of this parish.  I do not know where I am going. I do not know if I am going.  My farewell is a precautionary measure in case the Bishop has a moving day this week.  Goodbye.

People are often unreasonable, illogical or self-centred.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are successful, you will be sure to make some false friends.
Be successful anyway.

If you are honest and frank people may cheat you
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness others may be jealous.
Be happy anyway

The good you do today people will often forget tomorrow.
Be good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be good enough.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
Mother Teresa

The fruit of silence is Prayer.
The fruit of prayer is Faith

The fruit of faith is Love.
The fruit of love is Service.
The fruit of service is Peace

“We are not some casual or meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary.”
