“And he became so zealous that his zeal, not his god, became the center of his faith.”
I also want to put that in a book.

The modern man remembers and analyzes Freud, placing him on a pedestal to throw rotten eggs and moldy fruit as sacred offerings. The modern man has ignored forgotten Chesterton, yet keeps him and reveres him in the secret places of his heart.-Thought 52
I don’t know if the modern world is completely culpable for its sins, for it may be believed that the modern world does not deceive: It has instead been deceived.-Thought 51
We are the Nostalgia Generation.
Regardless of who we are, we miss the past.
For some, it is the past of centuries, a glorious history.
For others, it is the halcyon days, from a week to a year.
Our lives have moved too fast and too dangerously. But in our speed, we are constantly keeping our backs toward any destination.
We are seeing our better days go by. We refuse to see even greater days ahead.
We were young and we rejected tradition.
And now we are old and we reject the new.
We are prisoners to the cycle of generational criticism, trapped by the dictum that whatever came before will always be better and whatever comes now is worthless.
We have become what we thought we would never resemble.
In making Truth relative, we no longer know its face.
We gave up Faith.
Then we lost Hope.
Now Love has left us because we gave its name to something else entirely.
We grew up too fast and too soon.
We have truly become too old, too early.

It surprises me when I see a Catholic talk about a modern “lack of miracles” when indeed miracles are happening every day… It is the miracle at the altar, each time the Mass is celebrated and the bread and wine are changed. It is a daily miracle… and one of the greatest of miracles.-Thought 47
The doctor will not just accept and leave a disease: He will work to cure and heal the patient. The same is true of love, for it is not mere acceptance and respect, but a reproof when one errs and a light when one strays from the path.-Thought 46
How can you tell us to act more like Christians, then bash Christianity itself and as a whole?-Thought 45
