I wish to express my wish for you to feel welcome in embrace of our beloved community. Even tough, you are welcome, I wish to share with you one of my favorite quotes from St. Maria of Paris: "It would be a great lie to tell searching souls: Go to church because there you will find peace. The opposite is true. The Church tells those who are at peace and asleep: Go hunger for Christ's truth. There, instead of becoming lukewarm, you will be set on fire; instead of pacified you will become alarmed; instead of learning the wisdom of this world you will become fools for Christ."
This is what St. Anthony wants to offer you.
Be brave.
Be fervent.
Be proud.
God bless you
