“I believe God calls each one of us into an intimate relationship with Him, no matter who we are or how we have lived. God adores each one of us and only desires our true and lasting happiness. But God is not indifferent to the manner in which we live. God has a plan for each of us that will entail our greatest joy, and a path to live a moral life that to some may seem restricting, but to those who freely accept the life of Jesus is an experience of great peace and freedom.”
~ Msgr. Panke
