Since we do not know the hour or the day, let this be the hour, let this be the day, let this be the time that we live and die.
John J. Pilch

Teachers who instruct others in piety will in their turn receive from God such recompense as befits those who gather the obedient into eternal life.
Dennis
Hamm, SJ

Reginald H. Fuller
The Son of man comes from heaven to earth on the clouds with power
and great glory.
