Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” “Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it.”.“Faith and Reason are like two wings of the human spirit by which is soars to the truth.”.Most things I have read at least twice, which is saying something as it is not something I do often with books. His writings and words are nearly inexhaustible and everything is so rich. That’s a story for another day, but I wanted to share a few of my favorite quotes of his with you today, as well as my favorite books. He had a profound impact on my youth as he did in the lives of many others. This heroic man was a man of great faith, great hope, great love in this oftentimes rough world we live in. It seems rather apt that the recollection of his death always falls within Lent or the Easter season, as he was an amazing witness to living the life of Christ crucified, especially towards the end of his life.

He died on the vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday. John Paul the Great today on the tenth anniversary of his death, which happens to coincide with Holy Thursday this year.
