"[O]nce we see these differences [between Christianity and other religions], we realize that Jesus’ claims aren’t in the least arrogant, but simply a statement of incontrovertible fact... Jesus is the only way to the Father, because he’s the only one who even teaches us that God the Creator is our Father."

"Jesus was rejected by the religious leaders of his own day, even though he was the source of salvation. In a mysterious way, many saints have shared in Jesus’s rejection, being spurned by those with power... One has to accept it in total abandonment to the mysterious will of God, and exercise faith that there is resurrection on the other side of this kind of painful personal “death,” as there was for Christ himself."

"The different ways in which God, acting in history, cares for the world and for mankind are not mutually exclusive; on the contrary, they support each other and intersect. They have their origin and goal in the eternal, wise and loving counsel whereby God predestines men and women “to be conformed to the image of his Son” (Rom 8:29)."

Collect for the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Almighty ever-living God,
who, while the Blessed Virgin Mary was carrying your Son in her womb,
inspired her to visit Elizabeth,
grant us, we pray,
that, faithful to the promptings of the Spirit,
we may magnify your greatness
with the Virgin Mary at all times.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

This is what it was really like when Columbus discovered the New World:
"I claim this land in the name of their majesties Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain, and in honor of our Holy Savior, I name it San Salvador. Let us give thanks."
