to every other science is the science of religion: 

the science of our happy relationship with 

and providential dependence on 

God and our neighbor.'

like the air that permeates us.'

'Gratitude is the first sign 

of a thinking, rational creature.'

'Do not pray for easy lives. 

Pray to be stronger people.'

Pray for powers equal to your tasks.'

or we will frustrate the plan of God for our lives.'
