God punishes us.

God does not wish to see us in affliction, but it is we who draw down sufferings upon ourselves, and by our sins enkindle the flames in which we are to burn. God punishes us, because we oblige Him to do so. St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori

Jesus Christ was crucified in your place. Will you carry the cross He's asked you for just this short lifetime? What cross? A sacrificial holy life abstaining from the things that hurt His heart and your life, and engaging in the behaviors that honor Him and will multiply the joy in your life now and in eternity.

Medjugorje comes from Heaven. It is a pure gift from God. That is why it was difficult for me to accept it at the beginning... because it calls for change. Unless a person accepts change, the Message of Medjugorje appeals to your soul like a beggar. Medjugorje calls you to relieve you of all your presuppositions and to begin a new approach to things, a radically new way. Medjugorje does not produce Pharisees.

If you were to see Our Lady for just one second, I don't know whether your life on this earth would be interesting after that one second. Every day after every encounter with her I always need several hours to come back to this earth and to the realities of this world. (Ivan Dragicevic

When the Holy Spirit moves a man from aimless biological existence to what Christ calls the “fullness” of life, the reaction is a little like that of someone who has heard simple tunes but then encounters a symphony.

Liberalism - (A Definition) --A philosophy that defends evil at all costs. It holds that man, not God, is the creator of the moral law. It rejects moral absolutes and calls for total freedom in moral matters without consequence. It approves of the violent removal of opposition.
