Quote of the day

We often pray to Jesus; we pray to the Father, especially in the 'Our Father'; but not often to the Holy Spirit. . . . Pray often to the Holy Spirit so that He may help us, give us the strength, give us the inspiration and lead us forward.

The consequences of counterfeit art are the perversion of man, pleasure which never satisfies, and the weakening of man's spiritual strength.
