If you are what you
should be, you will set the whole world on fire!
-St. Catherine of
Siena
This quote was used
by Pope John Paul II on January 4th, 2001 speaking in St. Peter’s
Square speaking to Regnum Christi Movement and the Legionaries of Christ.
In a
secularized world such as our own, built in large part on neglect of
transcendent truths and values, the faith of many of our brothers and sisters
is sorely tried.
Because of
this, there is a need today more than ever for a confident proclamation of the
Gospel, which, casting aside all crippling fears, announces with intellectual
depth and with courage the truth about God, about man, about the world.
To you,
Legionaries of Christ and members of Regnum Christi, I repeat the words of St.
Catherine of Siena which I proposed to the young people at the World Youth Day:
“If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world on fire!”

Now how many doubles did I use? I count
three. Impressed?
