Corruption
"I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears." -Acts 20:29
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." -Matthew 7:15
"And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." -Matthew 16:18

Sometimes I Wonder
"Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to be God.
What it feels like to create a living being from nothing and love it more than anything. What is it like to create millions of these wonderful beings knowing full well that so many of them will despise your very existence and create them anyways. What does it feel like to be hated by the thing you love most. What’s it like for one of them to say they love you more than anything but for their actions to prove the opposite. What is it like to give knowing they can never give as much back to you. What is it like when you give someone a second, third, fourth, tenth chance knowing that they will still fail you. What is it like to always end up with the short end of the stick. What must it be like to be the most powerful thing in existence yet place yourself very last. What is it like to be hated for being love itself. Sometimes I wonder these things and it makes me unbelievably thankful that I’m on the opposite end.
I know I can never return the love that God has for me to the full extent that He has given it but it doesn't mean I can’t give Him everything I have."

Satisfaction
"The birds of the air and the beasts of the earth and the fishes of the sea are satisfied when they have enough food for themselves. But since man is not satisfied with the things of this world and always longs for others, it is clear that he was not made primarily for them but for others. For the body was made for the sake of the soul, and this world for the sake of the other world" - St. Giles

Complaining
"Don’t wear a cross around your neck if all you’re going to do is complain about the one on your back. Prayer is where the cross changes shoulders." -sermoveritas
