Bishop Fulton Sheen on Beauty.....

In light of the earlier post on fashion models and what the world considers beautiful.....

From the book, "The Quotable Fulton Sheen"--

"Beauty without virtue is like a fair flower that has an offensive odor. But true beauty bathes in that light without which nothing is beautiful. Beauty is a gift of God, like the rain. He allows the rain to fall upon the just and the wicked, and He gives beauty not only to the good, but even to the wicked. Wicked beauty strikes the eye, but the inner beauty of grace wins the soul."

Sr. Miriam,

Saw you on EWTN and thought you were great! I remember you quoting Bishop Sheen, about beauty radiating from within. Yea, hopefully Bishop Sheen will be canonized in our lifetime. He's such a blessing in many of our lives.

Keep up the good work sister. We're praying for you.

God bless.

Fr. Santan Pinto, SOLT 1948-2011

It is with a heavy and incredulous heart that I post the news that our beloved Father, Fr. Santan Pinto, died suddenly in a car accident after just arriving for a home visit in India. Apparently, Fr. Pinto was the passenger in a car that was struck and he died instantly. A Bishop in India, the Bishop of Belgaum, has contacted our community and confirmed this sorrowful news. Fr. Pinto's funeral will be tomorrow in India. It's interesting, you know, after just posting Father's Christmas message yesterday and then posting the clip by Fr.

Pinto has more spiritual children than those people ever will. God will not be mocked. Father was a priest who was faithful to the end, who loved God more than anything and made countless sacrifices for his many spiritual children. To say that he will b
