Catholic Wisdom

"If anyone laughs at your piety and faith, pray for him, for it will be no laughing matter on the Day of Judgment."

"So let the name of the Saints enter our homes through the naming of our children, to train not only the child but also the father, when he reflects that he is the father of John or Elijah or James; for, if the name be given with forethought to pay honor to those that have departed, and we grasp the fact that, by Baptism, we have a closer kinship with the righteous rather than with our forebears, this too will greatly help us and our children. Though it is a small thing, do not regard it as small; its purpose is to succor us.”

—Saint John Chrysostom
