Speaking of
“piety” and “spiritual brotherhood” does not
mean being
content with beautiful phrases or cultivating a
pious but
sterile sentiment of affection toward God and our
brothers.
Love, and so also holiness, is tremendously concrete
and practical;
it must be rooted in reality.
Bishop Giaquinta had a way with words. Like God's words in the Bible are still
relevant for us today so are Bishop Giaquinta's words! This quote means to me
that it is not enough to just speak about God but we must be Christ to others
every day! I must be Christ to others in my words and in my actions so I can
bring others to Christ and others help me on my homeward journey to Heaven. Many
times this is not easy and can stretch me. It is not just a nice commercial
about God but real life action, with lots of twists and turns. (Barb Gobel, long time Pro Sanctity Member Pro Sanctity Central States)
We wish to fulfill the mission you have entrusted to us to speak of love and brotherhood to everyone. Therefore, grant us, O Lord, the ability to speak and the courage to witness (from the prayer Builders of a New World, William Giaquinta)
