The courage of sanctity …

…. A “tough guy” priest, in the gulag and beyond – Catholic World Report.
“For each of us, salvation means no more and no less than taking up daily the same cross of Christ. … What it means, in practice, is spelled out as always by the poor old body.  It means getting up each morning and going to bed exhausted.It means the routine, not the spectacular.”
I once spent a good part of an afternoon chatting over coffee with Father Ciszek.
