From Our Founder

How different the holy Church would be this very day if, years ago, we had been filled with a spirit of humility and compunction, of patience and ready obedience, with the spirit of the Publican, who stood afar off, not venturing to raise his eyes to heaven, but only saying, “God, be merciful to me a sinner” (Lk. 18:13).

H. Lyman Stebbins
1977
