Favorite Quote: “There is no place for selfishness--and no place for fear! Do not be afraid then, when Love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires SACRIFICE... Real love is demanding. I would fail in my mission if I did not tell you so. Love demands a personal commitment to the Will of God." - Pope John Paul II |
