4. “In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers ….There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun.” The Seven Story Mountain

7. Holy Q. What about members of Church who aren’t holy?
A. One should avoid judging members of any organization by those who are lax, disinterested, or who don’t attend the meetings or live by its values. Look instead to the lives of those sincerely devoted, such as:
Francis & Clare of Assisi
Teresa of Avila & John of the Cross
John de Brebeuf & Isaac Jogues
Edith Stein & Maximillian Kolbe
Thomas More and John Fisher
Damien of Molokai & Padre Pio
Thomas Merton & John Paul II
Franz Jägerstätter & Oscar Romero
Maria Gorretti & Elizabeth Seton
Katherine Drexil & Brother Andre

11. (Catechism of the Catholic Church no. 1547)
The ministerial or hierarchical priesthood of bishops and priests, and the common priesthood of all the faithful participate, "each in its own proper way, in the one priesthood of Christ." While being "ordered one to another," they differ essentially. In what sense? While the common priesthood of the faithful is exercised by the unfolding of baptismal grace --a life of faith, hope, and charity, a life according to the Spirit--, the ministerial priesthood is at the service of the common priesthood. It is directed at the unfolding of the baptismal grace of all Christians. The ministerial priesthood is a means by which Christ unceasingly builds up and leads his Church. For this reason it is transmitted by its own sacrament, the sacrament of Holy Orders.

I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.”
