We need to be on fire with the love of God and of the poor. Look at our Pope Francis how he does it with such great simplicity, kindness and humility.
Bishop Stephen E. Blaire (Stockton)

Bishop Stephen E. Blaire (Stockton)
Schools have the ability to transform lives, and cultures.
Bishop James D. Conley (Lincoln)
So many of the problems in our homes and in our society can be traced back to the fact that we no longer have a clear idea of what it means to be a human person. The question from the Psalms is the question of our times: “What is man?”
Archbishop Jose H. Gomez (Los Angeles)
People may say unless you conform yourselves to the mindset of society you will quickly become irrelevant. The Gospel tells us something different: it is only by a brave and distinct witness that we become truly relevant to every one of our contemporaries.
Bishop Mark Davies (Shrewsbury)
Faith can no longer be presumed or taken for granted. It’s a free, loving decision, which has life-changing implications.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan (New York)
Now is the time to be generous and to give alms. Now is the time to lay up treasure in heaven with good works. Now is the time to pray.
Bishop Stephen E. Blaire (Stockton)
It is more important than ever that we think very carefully about our faith – otherwise it can be weakened by materialism, or by relativism which seeks to make up a new set of truths contrary to the Gospel.
Bishop Robert W. Finn (Kansas City)
We are losing our ability to weep over human suffering, cruelty and injustice. “It’s not my concern,” we assure ourselves. This numbing of conscience is facilitated by an individualistic culture of well-being, which allows us to think only of ourselves.
Archbishop Paul S. Coakley (Oklahoma City)
We have — and we need — heroes for a reason. They remind us that we’re more than the sum of our failures and weaknesses. We remember people like Edith Stein and Dorothy Day, Oscar Romero and Alexander Solzhenitsyn, because they devoted themselves to the good, the true and the service of others. Their lives became a moral witness.
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput (Philadelphia)
Conscience does not act in isolation on some sort of personal or individual intuition disconnected from someone or something else. For a Catholic, a properly formed conscience means to share God's knowledge and the church's teaching about right or wrong.
Bishop Thomas John Paprocki (Springfield)
Sin is relational. So when I wallow in self-pity or indulge in gratifying my senses, when I prefer to go shopping rather than participating in Sunday Mass, when I intentionally ignore the needs of the world’s or my neighborhood’s poor, when I invoke God’s name or his damnation on a colleague in a conflict situation, I sin.
Archbishop John C. Nienstedt (St. Paul, Minneapolis)
The distortion of desire that we call sin unfortunately marks our experience, but it does not have to deform our life.
Cardinal Francis George (Chicago)
...(F)ulfillment is to be found in the person of Jesus Christ, risen from the dead. He wishes to know you and to change you, to be more like Him and then to love others in the same way, serving them not simply out of human love, but out of a love that is divine, that is selfless, and self-sacrificing.
Bishop Robert C. Morlino (Madison)
We cannot let this Year of Faith pass and still be a weary Church. We cannot remain the Church of yesterday...We need to seek new paths. We have to Share the Good News with the enthusiasm that good news brings with it.
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin (Dublin)
The call to service is at the heart of the gospel, in imitation to the example of Jesus Christ who taught his disciples that anyone who wished to be great must serve the needs of others. Such an attitude and action of service, if it is to be authentic, must be rooted in charity rather than ambition or the craving of seeming to be important.
Bishop Charles C. Thompson (Evansville)
The whole Catholic community has an obligation to identify, encourage and support vocations to the priesthood.
Bishop Thomas J. Tobin (Providence)
The Divine liturgy is not about us. It is about God, giving God the worship that is His due, giving Him thanksgiving—which is what Eucharist means—that lies at the core of all true worship.
Bishop Glen John Provost (Lake Charles)
