"As the shepherd, so the sheep; as the priest, so the people. Priest-victim leadership begets a holy Church. Every worldly priest hinders the growth of the Church; every saintly priest promotes it. If only all priests realized how their holiness makes the Church holy and how the Church begins to decline when the level of holiness among priests falls below that of the people!" ~ Ven. Archbishop Fulton Sheen #Saints #Quotes

MASS READINGS: Reading I 1 John 4:19–5:4 Beloved, we love God because he first loved us.
