Quotes:



“Things are always greater than we can initially perceive.” (Mike, 12:35)



"Oh, how you will enchant the angels!" (from Babette's Feast, 14:55)



“In the end, what’s most essential about this guy is that he is a soul loved by Christ. That he believes in Him. That he will go with Him when he gets called.” (Connor, 17:50)



"If sins are like garbage, then the priest is like God’s garbage-man." (Fr. Mike Schmitz, 27:00)



 “All is grace. Everything is possible. Reality is actually more wonderful than what is apparently true.” (Connor, 33:30)



“Christ reveals a hierarchy of Love.” (Mike, 38:18)



“The priesthood is really meant to give your life away for the good of everyone else.” (Mike, 38:40)

"But the moment comes when our eyes are opened, and we see and realize that grace is infinite. Grace, my friends, demands nothing from us but that we shall await it with confidence and acknowledge it in gratitude. Grace, brothers, makes no conditions and singles out none of us in particular; grace takes us all to its bosom and proclaims general amnesty." (from Blixen's Babette's Feast, 54:40)
