A man of willpower is one who can command himself, who can guide himself with firm decision along the path he undertakes, dominating all the abilities of his body for the attainment of his goal (BM p. 1060).

From Father Tom: It strikes me as I write, that the Founder might have given a self-description in these few words: incessantly calm and controlled, always reflective and always moving decisively onwards.  I speak for myself when I say that I have a long way to go before reaching this state.

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr M Anita Ghirlanda PD (2007)--Fr. Jose' Ignacio Fernandez de Larrea (2011)--Fr. Settimio Ruggeri (2014)--Sr. Lidia Fulvi FSP (2015)
