“Death does not simply end life. It steals away the sunsets youâ€™ll never see, the children youâ€™ll ever hold, the wife youâ€™ll never love. Itâ€™s frightening to almost lose your future and itâ€™s heartbreaking to witness death snuff out other peopleâ€™s tomorrows.”

“A tribute . . . is due to the talents, the rectitude, and the patriotism, which adorn the characters selected to devise and adopt [the Constitution].

“'Truly, truly, I tell you, if you ask anything of the Father in My Name, He will give it to you. Till now you have asked nothing in My Name; ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full' (Jn. 16:23). What a wonderful gift! It is a guarantee of unending, infinite blessings!

The name by its exterior form is limited, but it represents an unlimited object, God, from Whom it borrows infinite, divine value or worth, the power and properties of God.”
