Quote of the Day

"Ask yourselves, young people, about the love of Christ.  Acknowledge His voice resounding in the temple of your heart.  Return His bright and penetrating glance which opens the paths of your life to the horizons of the Church’s mission.  It is a taxing mission, today more than ever, to teach humans the truth about themselves, about their end, their destiny, and to show faithful souls the unspeakable riches of the love of Christ.  Do not be afraid of the radicalness of His demands, because Jesus, who loved us first, is prepared to give Himself to you, as well as asking of you.  If He asks much of you, it is because He knows you can give much."
- Pope John Paul II

Quote of the Day

Quote of the Day

"When I was growing up and I introduced myself to people I’d say, 'Hi, my name is Robyn and I’m a girl,' because in Sweden, Robyn is a boy’s name and I had such short hair.  My handicrafts teacher thought I was a boy for three years.  I tried to tell her I was a girl, but she’d just say, 'My little boy wanted to be a girl when he was a kid, too.'  Finally my mom had to write her a note that said, 'Please don’t assume that Robyn is a boy anymore because she’s a girl.'"

Quote of the Day

"If you never really make friends, you probably don't have anyone to be your two a.m.  You know, the person you can call at two a.m. and, no matter what, you can count on them.  Even if they're asleep or it's cold or you need to be bailed out of jail...they'll come for you.  It's, like, the highest level of friendship."
