As I begin my 32nd year at Bishop Montgomery, I, like you, find myself challenged by the circumstances we find ourselves in. I am comforted by the words of my hero, Pope St. John XXIII:
"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but what it is still possible for you to do."
"See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little."
--Pope St. John XXIII
And I continue to be inspired by C.S. Lewis:
"Do not waste time bothering whether you 'love' your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone you will presently come to love him."
"Though our feelings come and go, God's love for us does not."
--C.S. Lewis
