One of Cat's favorite quotes is:""Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a game, play it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a struggle, accept it. "Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.â - Mother Teresa
"Today, in the twenty-first century, the battle still rages, and yet another precious class of human beings is now suffering discrimination due to their age and place of residence."
"If the God who became one of us saw the necessity of accepting weakness and suffering in order to be fully human, doesn't that tell us something about what we're meant to do?"

St. Stanislaw Kazimierczyk: "You who listen to the Mass, and leave before it finishes? You will not receive any reward, because the validity of the obligation to hear Mass concludes at the end."
"It is idle to talk against representative government or for it. All government is representative government until it begins to decay. Unfortunately (as is also evident) all government begins to decay the instant it begins to govern." ~GKC: 'A Miscellany of Men.'
"A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt to be dangerous." ~Alfred Adler
ââ¦[Breastfeeding] benefits the child and helps to create the closeness and maternal bonding so necessary for healthy child development. So human and natural is this bond that the Psalms use the image of the infant at its motherâs breast as a picture of Godâs care for manâ¦"
- Pope John Paul II
"We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, of killings, of wars, of hatred. If a mother can kill her own child, what is left but for us to kill each other."
-Blessed Teresa of Calcuttaâ
"When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit." --Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Women's Rights Movement Organizer, October 16, 1887â
"Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want." -Blessed Teresa Calcutta
"We are always too busy for our children; we never give them the time or interest they deserve. We lavish gifts upon them; but the most precious gift - our personal association, which means so much to them - we give grudgingly." -Mark Twain
âWhat a woman can give, no man can give. That is why God has created them separately; nuns, women, any woman...Expand for more
. Woman is created to be the heart of the family, the heart of love. If we miss that, we miss everything. They give that love in the family or they give it in serviceâthat is what their creation is for."
-Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
"There is something else to remember - that this kind of love begins at home. We cannot give to the outside what we don't have on the inside. This is very important. If I can't see God's love in my brother and sister then how can I see that love in somebody else? How can I give it to somebody else? Everybody has got some good. Some hide it, neglect it, but it is there." - Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
"Let every action of mine be something beautiful for God."
-Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it" Mark Twain
"If you're going to pursue revenge, you better dig two graves." Chinese Proverb
âHolding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.â Buddha Quote
"One should rather die than be betrayed. There is no deceit in death. It delivers precisely what it has promised. Betrayal, though ... betrayal is the willful slaughter of hope." Steven Deitz
"Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes."
Pope John Paul II
"The cemetery of the victims of human cruelty in our century is extended to include yet another vast cemetery, that of the unborn."
Pope John Paul II
"As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live."
Pope John Paul II
"An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded."
Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II
"Stupidity is also a gift of God, but one mustn't misuse it."
Pope John Paul II
"The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish."
Pope John Paul II
"To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others."
Pope John Paul II
"Wars generally do not resolve the problems for which they are fought and therefore... prove ultimately futile."
Pope John Paul II
"Young people are threatened... by the evil use of advertising techniques that stimulate the natural inclination to avoid hard work by promising the immediate satisfaction of every desire."
Pope John Paul II
"While breastfeeding may not seem the right choice for every parent, it is the best choice for every baby."
~Amy Spangler
