Why do I love Venerable Fulton J. Sheen? Because of statements like this:
"A woman is capable of more sacrifices than a man. Man is more apt to be a hero, through some great passionate outburst of heroism. But a woman's love makes a thousand small sacrifices, sprinkling them through the days and the months; their very repetition gives them the character of the commonplace. Not only her soul, but her body, has some share in the Calvary of Redemption; furthermore, she comes closer to death than man, whenever she brings forth a child."
-Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, Life is Worth Living
This is amazing and beautiful! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this. This quote is so edifying in this culture that says that woman are less just because of their feminity. I think that I will print this out and keep it.
